1 Samuel 31:8-13

8It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip those killed, 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 1throughout the land of the Philistines, 2to bring the good news 3to the house of their idols and to the people.

10They put his weapons in the 4temple of 5Ashtaroth, and 6they nailed his body to the wall of 7Beth-shan.

11Now when 8the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard 9what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 10all the valiant men got up and walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Jabesh and 11burned them there.

13And they took their bones and 12buried them under 13the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and 14fasted for seven days.
