En David ging heen en nam Sauls gebeente, en het gebeente van diens zoon Jonathan, van de burgers van Jabes in Gilead, die ze van de straat te Beth-San gestolen hadden, waar de Filistijnen hen hadden opgehangen, ten dage toen de Filistijnen Saul versloegen op den berg Gilba.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of Jabeshgilead,.... Which, according to Bunting t, was fifty two miles from Jerusalem; though perhaps David did not go thither in person to fetch them, but by his messengers, see 2 Samuel 21:14;
which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa; the history of all which see in 1 Samuel 31:8.
t Travels, &c. p. 122, 143.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
From the street of Beth-shan - This was the wide place just inside the gate of an Oriental city, bounded therefore by the city wall (compare the marginal reference). Here, as the place of concourse, the Philistines had fastened the bodies.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 21:12. Took the bones of Saul — The reader will recollect that the men of Jabesh-gilead burned the bodies of Saul and his sons, and buried the remaining bones under a tree at Jabesh. See 1 Samuel 31:12-13. These David might have digged up again, in order to bury them in the family sepulchre.
