The People of Jabesh-gilead Give Saul a Proper Burial(A)
11 When the residents of Jabesh-gilead heard what[a] the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 every valiant soldier[b] got up, traveled all night, and removed Saul’s body and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. Then they went to Jabesh and cremated the bodies[c] there. 13 They took their bones, buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
