Jabesh-Gilead: Saul and his Sons Buried At

When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, …

When all the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,

…all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”
