Contextual Overview
8 And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe. 9 And they cut off Saul’s head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols and among their people. 10 And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan. 11 Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 All the most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there. 13 And they took their bones, and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.

heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul; not only that they had got the victory over him, and routed his army, but had abused his body, and hung it up by way of reproach and ignominy; which they could not bear to hear of, remembering with gratitude the kindness he had shown to them, in delivering them out of the hands of Nahash the Ammonite, 1 Samuel 11:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 31:11. When the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard — This act of the men of Jabesh-gilead was an act of gratitude due to Saul, who, at the very commencement of his reign, rescued them from Nahash, king of the Ammonites, (see 1 Samuel 11:1, &c.,) and by his timely succours saved them from the deepest degradation and the most oppressive tyranny. This heroic act, with the seven days' fast, showed that they retained a due sense of their obligation to this unfortunate monarch.
