5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, a“You are blessed of the Lord, for you have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him.  
6 And now may athe Lord show kindness and truth to you. I also will repay you this kindness, because you have done this thing.  
7 Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
