RIZPA
“burning coal”. Saul’s concubine, cause of estrangement between Ish-bosheth and the ambitious Abner. Two of her sons were hanged and their bodies exposed to the elements to avenge the wrongs that Saul had done to the Gibeonites.
Rizpah watched over the corpses day and night, it seems, from April to October (2 Sam. 3:7-11; 21:1-14).
