And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,

And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,

When all Jabesh-gilead heard - For a general account of the principles of heroism and gratitude from which this action of the men of Jabesh-gilead proceeded, see the note on 1-Samuel 31:11, 1-Samuel 31:12.
By the kindness of a literary friend, I am enabled to lay a farther illustration of this noble act before the reader, which he will find at the conclusion of the chapter.
