10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took some sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock.21:10. Probably both to cover the ground and as a sheet above her to protect her from sun and rain. From the beginning of the harvest until the time the rains came and poured down on the bodies, she kept the birds away from them during the day and the wild animals at night.
11 When David heard what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done, 12 he retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had killed Saul at Gilboa. 13 David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought back, and also had the bones of those who had been hanged gathered up. 14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan at Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. Once they finished doing everything the king had ordered, God answered their prayers to end the famine in the land.
