OET (OET-RV) Then David commanded some of the young men and they killed the two brothers and cut of their hands and feet and hung them[fn] beside the Hebron pool, but they took Iysh-Boshet’s head and buried it there in Hebron in Abner’s tomb.
4:12 It’s ambiguous in the Hebrew whether the hands and feet were strung up, or the actual bodies.

These were symbolic actions to show contempt for the men.

(Occurrence 0) they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the grave
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_commanded Dāvid DOM the,young_men and,killed,them and,cut_off DOM hands,their and=DOM feet,their and,hung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,pool in/on/at/with,Hebron and=DOM head (a)_man בֹּשֶׁת took and,buried in/on/at/with,tomb ʼAⱱnēr in/on/at/with,Hebron )
This was a symbolic act to honor Ishbosheth. This could be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: “they honored Ishbosheth by burying his head in the grave”
4:12 cut off their hands and feet: Displaying the dismembered bodies of Ishbosheth’s killers shamed them by denying them proper burial (cp. 1 Sam 31:8-13); it was also a public testimony of David’s innocence in Ishbosheth’s death.
