“And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh–gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.”
David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead — David's first kingly act is to honor those who showed covenant loyalty. Jabesh-gilead's inhabitants retrieved Saul's body and gave him honorable burial. David recognizes this as covenant faithfulness and invokes God's steadfast love upon them.
