2 Samuel 21:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ Rizpah (Aiah’s daughter) took sackcloth and stretched it out on the rock for herself from the beginning of the harvest until the sky rained on the dead bodies. She wouldn’t let any birds land on them during the day or any wild animals come near them during the night.

¹¹ When David was told what Saul’s concubine ^[a] Rizpah (Aiah’s daughter) had done, ¹² David went and took the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. They had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shean, where the Philistines had hung them the day they killed Saul at Gilboa.
