2 Samuel 21:10-14 - The Burial Of Saul's Family

¹⁰ Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain fell on them, she did not allow the birds of the air to feed on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.

¹¹ When David was told what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul's concubine, had done, ¹² he went and took the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan from the leaders of Jabesh Gilead. (They had secretly taken them from the plaza at Beth Shan. It was there that Philistines publicly exposed their corpses after they had killed Saul at Gilboa.) ¹³ David brought the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son from there; they also gathered up the bones of those who had been executed. ¹⁴ They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin at Zela in the grave of his father Kish. After they had done everything that the king had commanded, God responded to their prayers for the land.
