THE MESSAGE
The people of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul. All of their fighting men went into action—retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh, gave them a dignified burial under the oak at Jabesh, and mourned their deaths for seven days.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
When all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

Contextual Overview

8 The next day the Philistines came back to the battlefield to carry away the weapons of the dead Israelite soldiers. When they found the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa, 9 they took Saul's weapons, pulled off his armor, and cut off his head. Then they sent messengers everywhere in Philistia to spread the news among their people and to thank the idols of their gods. 10 They put Saul's armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of their god Dagon. 11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 some brave men went to get his body and the bodies of his three sons. The men brought the bodies back to Jabesh, where they buried them under an oak tree. Then for seven days, they went without eating to show their sorrow. 13 Saul died because he was unfaithful and disobeyed the Lord . He even asked advice from a woman who talked to spirits of the dead, 14 instead of asking the Lord . So the Lord had Saul killed and gave his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 10:11. When all Jabesh-gilead heard — For a general account of the principles of heroism and gratitude from which this action of the men of Jabesh-gilead proceeded, see the note on 1 Samuel 31:11-12.

By the kindness of a literary friend, I am enabled to lay a farther illustration of this noble act before the reader, which he will find at the conclusion of the chapter. 1 Chronicles 10:14.
