And the men of Judah came and anointed David to be king over the house of Judah there. And they told David, saying, It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan from the rulers of Jabeshgilead, who had stolen them from the plaza of Beth-shan, there where the Philistines hanged them in the day the Philistines struck Saul in Gilboa.
And they said, What one is there out of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Jehovah to Mizpeh? And, behold, no one had come into the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
