1 Samuel 31:11New International Reader's VersionThe people of Jabesh Gilead heard about what the Philistines had done to Saul. 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.
