2 Samuel 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 21:14

And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son
Together with those who had been hanged:

buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah;
a city in the tribe of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:28 ) ;

in the sepulchre of Kish his father;
the father of Saul, ( 1 Samuel 9:1 1 Samuel 9:2 ) ; and which, according to Fuller ^F23, and the position of it in his map, was not far from the hill on which the seven sons of Saul were hanged:

and they performed all that the king commanded;
that is, David's messengers and servants did; they fetched the bones of Saul and Jonathan from Jabeshgilead, and buried them with those of his seven sons hanged, in the burying place of his father Kish, and made a general mourning for them; for the Jews say ^F24, that by David's order Saul's coffin was carried through every tribe, and men, women, and children, came out and expressed concern:

and after that God was entreated for the land;
not after the burial of the said persons, but after the seven men were hanged up; by this the wrath of God was appeased, which was seen by his sending rain and fruitful seasons, so that the famine ceased.

2 Samuel 21:14 In-Context

12 ele foi e tomou os ossos de Saul e os de Jônatas seu filho, aos homens de Jabes-Gileade, que os haviam furtado da praça de Bete-Sã, onde os filisteus os tinham pendurado quando mataram a Saul em Gilboa;

13 e trouxe dali os ossos de Saul e os de Jônatas seu filho; e ajuntaram a eles também os ossos dos enforcados.

14 Enterraram os ossos de Saul e de Jônatas seu filho, na terra de Benjamim, em Zela, na sepultura de Quis, seu pai; e fizeram tudo o que o rei ordenara. Depois disto Deus se aplacou para com a terra.

15 De novo tiveram os filisteus uma guerra contra Israel. E desceu Davi, e com ele os seus servos; e tanto pelejara contra os filisteus, que Davi se cansou.

16 E Isbi-Benobe, que era dos filhos do gigante, cuja lança tinha o peso de trezentos, siclos de bronze, e que cingia uma espada nova, intentou matar Davi.
