2 Samuel 21:11 · ZARZA Bible

In context

9and handed them over to the Gibeonites, who hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh. All seven fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest. 10Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until the rain poured down on the bodies from the sky. She did not let the birds of the sky settle on them by day, or the wild animals by night. 11David was told what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done. 12So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day they struck down Saul at Gilboa. 13He brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gathered the bones of the men who had been hanged.
