2 Samuel 2:4-7
New International Version
4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron,(A) and there they anointed(B) David king over the tribe of Judah.
When David was told that it was the men from Jabesh Gilead(C) who had buried Saul, 5 he sent messengers to them to say to them, “The Lord bless(D) you for showing this kindness to Saul your master by burying him. 6 May the Lord now show you kindness and faithfulness,(E) and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this. 7 Now then, be strong(F) and brave, for Saul your master is dead, and the people of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
2 Samuel 21:12-14
New International Version
12 he went and took the bones of Saul(A) and his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead.(B) (They had stolen their bodies from the public square at Beth Shan,(C) where the Philistines had hung(D) them after they struck Saul down on Gilboa.)(E) 13 David brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from there, and the bones of those who had been killed and exposed were gathered up.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish, at Zela(F) in Benjamin, and did everything the king commanded. After that,(G) God answered prayer(H) in behalf of the land.(I)
