“And when the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;”
“And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul, ”
“When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,”
“Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,”
“And when the people of Jabesh-gilead had news of what the Philistines had done to Saul,”
“And when the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;”
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip loot from the corpses, they discovered Saul and his three sons lying dead on Mount Gilboa.
They cut off Saul’s head and stripped him of his armor. They sent messengers to announce the news in the temple of their idols and among their people throughout the surrounding land of the Philistines.
They placed Saul’s armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his corpse on the city wall of Beth Shan.
When the residents of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
all their warriors set out and traveled throughout the night. They took Saul’s corpse and the corpses of his sons from the city wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
They took the bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh; then they fasted for seven days.
