When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard
on 1 Chronicles 10:11-12
Jabesh-gilead remembers Saul's first act as king, the rescue of their city from Nahash in 1 Samuel 11. Chronicles drops Samuel's detail that the men burned the bodies before burying the bones. It keeps the burial, for they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

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 1Sa 31:11, 1Sa 31:12. 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.
