2 Samuel 21:10-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took the sackcloth, and she spread it for herself on the rock at the beginning of the harvest until water gushed forth on them from heaven, but she did not allow the birds of heaven to rest on them by day nor the animals of the field by night.

11. David was told about what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

12. So David left and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the rulers of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines hung them when the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa.

13. He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of the executed.

14. And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin at Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They did all that the king had commanded, and afterward God was entreated for the land.
