1 Samuel 31:8-13

8It came about on the 1next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9They cut off his head and stripped off his weapons, and sent them 2throughout the land of the Philistines, 3to carry the good news 4to the house of their idols and to the people.

10They put his weapons in the 5temple of 6Ashtaroth, and 7they fastened his body to the wall of 8Beth-shan.

11Now when 9the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard 10what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 11all the valiant men rose and walked all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Jabesh and 12burned them there.

13They took their bones and 13buried them under 14the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and 15fasted seven days.
