1 Chronicles 10:1New International Reader's VersionThe Philistines fought against Israel. The men of Israel ran away from them. But many Israelites were killed on Mount Gilboa. See the chapter |
David went and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. He got them from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. They had stolen their bodies from the main street in Beth Shan. That’s where the Philistines had hung their bodies up on the city wall. They had done it after they struck Saul down on Mount Gilboa.
