Again, we see two people, Rechab and Baanah, trying to make a bit of a power play. They were from Saul's own tribe but thought that they could get themselves in with David by knocking off Ishbosheth. They didn't, David had them killed. When we come before God, we don't manipulate him (I went to church every week last year God, so you've got to do this...), bribe him (If I give this money away God, will you give me...) or even try to please him with what we've done (I didn't tell a lie this week God, do you love me?). The only way we come before God is through Jesus death on the cross.
