Rizpah on the rock, and the bones of Saul and Jonathan buried in Zela

반석 위의 리스바와 셀라에 장사한 사울과 요나단의 뼈

2 Samuel 21:10–14: the text says, “Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.” David is told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. So David goes and takes the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa; and he brings up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gather the bones of those who were hanged. They bury the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they perform all that the king commanded. After that, God answers prayer for the land. The Korean Revised Version names David at 21:13, and at 21:14 has the gathered bones of those who were hanged buried together with the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son (사울과 그 아들 요나단의 뼈와 함께).
