2 Samuel 21:10

2 Samuel 21:10 says, And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.  Rizpah, one of the mothers of those hanged, set up a tent of sackcloth where she could sit and mourn them.  She didn't attempt to do more than that since their bodies hanging in public was part of their sentence, but she did show her love for them.  We should mourn our dead, but not to the point that we do nothing else, and once someone dies, their everlasting sentence is already passed, and it can never be changed.  Verse eleven adds, And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.  Someone brought news to David about what the woman, Rizpah, was doing.  No one has to bring news to our King, God Himself, about what we are doing, but if someone is grieving excessively someone needs to be made aware of it. Verse twelve continues, And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:  David went to Jabeshgilead and got the bones of Saul and Jonathan from where they had been buried after being stolen from the Philistines.  Matthew Henry says they had been buried as common men instead of being buried with the honors of a king and his son, but I personally think that we are all equal in death, so the funeral of one person is no more important than the funeral of another.  Verse thirteen states, And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.  When David brought the bones of Saul and Jonathan, he took the bodies of those hanged as well.  They were descendants of Saul's after all and like Jonathan would have been in line to become king. David evidently believed there was no need for the further humiliation of having their bodies hanging unburied.  I don't believe that as followers of Christ we should ever abuse the dody of someone who is dead, even if they had been our worst enemy.  The body is going to be reduced to nothing in time anyway, and the fate of the soul is already determined.  Verse fourteen adds, And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.  They buried the bones of Saul with Kish his father, and I assume the others as well. Then, they entreated God about rain on the part of the people.  We can do nothing to help those who have died, but we do need to always be in prayer for the living.
