Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son,.... Together with those who had been hanged:
buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah; a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 18:28;
in the sepulchre of Kish his father; the father of Saul, 1 Samuel 9:1; and which, according to Fuller w, and the position of it in his map, was not far from the hill on which the seven sons of Saul were hanged:
and they performed all that the king commanded; that is, David's messengers and servants did; they fetched the bones of Saul and Jonathan from Jabeshgilead, and buried them with those of his seven sons hanged, in the burying place of his father Kish, and made a general mourning for them; for the Jews say x, that by David's order Saul's coffin was carried through every tribe, and men, women, and children, came out and expressed concern:
and after that God was entreated for the land; not after the burial of the said persons, but after the seven men were hanged up; by this the wrath of God was appeased, which was seen by his sending rain and fruitful seasons, so that the famine ceased.
