Thematic Bible: To the men of jabesh-gilead

And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest! May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing. Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.
