1 Samuel 31:13

1Sa 31:13 And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

Ver. 13. And they took their bones. ] Half calcinated.

And buried them under a tree. ] Sub ulmo, some render it, under an elm: others, under a terebinth, as under a monument.

And fasted seven days. ] To show their great grief, as Job 2:13 , all which while they fasted, non a toto, sed a tanto et tali, as Daniel 10:3 , and prayed doubtless for the public wellfare.

Soli Deo Gloria
