Macbeth convinces the hired assassin to take revenge by appealing to his ambition, telling him that the current king has wronged him and that by committing the murder, he will be rewarded and have a chance to rise in power and influence.

Banquo is the one who is responsible for their current destitute condition. Apparently they used to think it was Macbeth, as he says, "Know that it was he in the times past which held you so under fortune, which you thought had been our innocent self." Now, it is pretty clear that these guys do not have any real reason for getting revenge on Banquo, but they are hired murderers, so they don't care. The second murderer says, "I am reckless what I do to spite the world."; he doesn't need any phony motive of revenge, nor does the other one. But Macbeth does, in order to try to retain some self-respect.

What reason does Macbeth give the hired assassins for their taking revenge?

According to the historical record, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] might have sought revenge for the unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of his family's lands by King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Duncan was killed by his own men before Macbeth could claim his right to do so. Instead, Macbeth's claim to the throne was recognized. Additionally, 14 years later, Duncan's aged father Crinan [d. 1054], the hereditary abbot of Dunkeld, rebelled against Macbeth's rule. This time, Macbeth claimed his right to kill the rebel before anyone else did. According to the Shakespearean play, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] sought revenge for the murder of his father, Duncan, by Macbeth. But he didn't want to carry out the killing himself. He might have thought that put him on the same level as Macbeth: killing a king in order to become king. So Malcolm saw to his revenge by having as his avenging angel Macduff. Macduff had his own reasons for ending Macbeth's reign and life. Macbeth had planned the Fife Castle massacre by which Macduff's entire family and household were stabbed to death.
