Jabesh-
gilead, To
morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of
Jabesh; and they were
glad.

Jabesh-
gilead: ‘
Deliverance will be yours
tomorrow by the time the sun is hot.’” And when the messengers relayed this to the men of

gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
