2 Samuel 2:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ When David received a report that the men of Jabesh-gilead were the ones who had buried Saul, ⁵ he sent messengers to the people of Jabesh-gilead to say to them: “May you be blessed by the Lord for having done this act of kindness to your lord Saul by burying him. ⁶ Now may the Lord bestow his love and faithfulness upon you. Moreover, I too will treat you with kindness because you have done this charitable deed.
