2 SAMUEL 21:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh–gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth–shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:”
David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them on the day the Philistines defeated Saul in Gilboa — David retrieves the bones of Saul and Jonathan, which had been stolen from public display by the people of Jabesh-gilead. The recovery of the bones shows David's respect for the dead and his recognition that Saul and Jonathan deserve proper burial.
