SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:12
Entonces David fue, y tomó los huesos de Saúl y los huesos de Jonatán su hijo, de los varones de Jabes de Galaad, que los habían hurtado de la plaza de Bet-sán, donde los habían colgado los filisteos, cuando deshicieron los filisteos a Saúl en Gilboa;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:12
Verse 12. Took the bones of Saul] The reader will recollect that the men of Jabesh-gilead burned the bodies of Saul and his sons, and buried the remaining bones under a tree at Jabesh. See 1 Sam. xxxi. 12, 13. These David might have digged up again, in order to bury them in the family sepulcher.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of Jabeshgilead , etc.] Which, according to Bunting f362 , was fifty two miles from Jerusalem; though perhaps David did not go thither in person to fetch them, but by his messengers, (see Samuel 21:14); which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa ; the history of all which see in ( 1 Samuel 31:8-13).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-14 - That a guilty land should enjoy many years of plenty, calls for gratitude; and we need not wonder misused abundance should be punishe with scarcity; yet how few are disposed to ask of the Lord concernin the sinful cause, while numbers search for the second causes by whic he is pleased to work! But the Lord will plead the cause of those wh cannot or will not avenge themselves; and the prayers of the poor ar of great power. When God sent rain to water the earth, these bodie were buried, for then it appeared that God was entreated for the land When justice is done on earth, vengeance from heaven ceases. God is pacified, and is entreated for us through Christ, who was hanged on tree, and so made a curse for us, to do away our guilt, though he wa himself guiltless.
