  • Newari: “Then he went and brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-Gilead. (On the day that the Philistines defeated Saul at Gilboa, men of Jabesh-Gilead stole those bones, from the courtyard of Beth-shan, the place where they had been hung.)” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “he went to the residents of Jabesh Gilead and asked for the bones of Saul and his child Jonatan. (When Saul and Jonatan died in their fighting/battle with the Filistinhon at Gilboa, the Filistinhon hung their corpse in the plaza at Bet Shan, and those of/from-Jabesh Gilead secretly took their corpse.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in the Gilead region and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the plaza/public square in Beth-Shan city, where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa Mountain.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
