Then Nahash H5176 the Ammonite H5984 came H5927 up, and encamped H2583 against H5921 Jabeshgilead: H3003 H1568 and all H3605 the men H582 of Jabesh H3003 said H559 to Nahash, H5176 Make H3772 a covenant H1285 with us, and we will serve H5647 you.

And the elders H2205 of Jabesh H3003 said H559 to him, Give us seven H7651 days' H3117 respite, H7503 that we may send H7971 messengers H4397 to all H3605 the coasts H1366 of Israel: H3478 and then, if H518 there be no H369 man to save H3467 us, we will come H3318 out to you.

And when the inhabitants H3427 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 heard H8085 of that which the Philistines H6430 had done H6213 to Saul; H7586

And they took H3947 their bones, H6106 and buried H6912 them under H8478 a tree H815 at Jabesh, H3003 and fasted H6684 seven H7651 days. H3117

And David H1732 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to the men H582 of Jabeshgilead, H3003 H1568 and said H559 to them, Blessed H1288 be you of the LORD, H3068 that you have showed H6213 this H2088 kindness H2617 to your lord, H113 even to Saul, H7586 and have buried H6912 him.

And now H6258 the LORD H3068 show H6213 kindness H2617 and truth H571 to you: and I also H1571 will requite H6213 you this H2088 kindness, H2896 because H834 you have done H6213 this H2088 thing. H1697
