And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;(1 Samuel 31:11)
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.(1 Samuel 31:12)
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.(1 Samuel 31:13)
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.(2 Samuel 1:2)
And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.(2 Samuel 1:3)
And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.(2 Samuel 1:4)
