Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 21:12

_ _ 2 Samuel 21:12-22. David buries the bones of Saul and Jonathan in their father’s sepulcher.

_ _ David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, etc. — Before long, the descent of copious showers, or perhaps an order of the king, gave Rizpah the satisfaction of releasing the corpses from their ignominious exposure; and, incited by her pious example, David ordered the remains of Saul and his sons to be transferred from their obscure grave in Jabesh-gilead to an honorable interment in the family vault at Zelah or Zelzah (1 Samuel 10:2), now Beit-jala.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
