New American Standard Bible

11When it was reported to David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done,
12then David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them on the day the Philistines struck and killed Saul in Gilboa.
13He brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gathered the bones of those who had been hanged.

12he went to the people of Jabesh-gilead and retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. (When the Philistines had killed Saul and Jonathan on Mount Gilboa, the people of Jabesh-gilead stole their bodies from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hung them.)
