2 Samuel 21:12-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12. And David went and took the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hung them up when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa.

13. He brought from there the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who were hung up.

14. And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah in the tomb of Kish, [Saul's] father, and they did all that the king commanded. And after that, God heard and answered when His people prayed for the land.

15. The Philistines had war again with Israel. And David went down and his servants with him and fought against the Philistines, and David became faint.

16. Ishbi-benob, who was of the sons of the giants, the weight of whose spear was 300 shekels of bronze, was girded with a new sword, and thought to kill David.
