1 Samuel 31:8-13

8The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.

10They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.

11When the people of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12all their valiant men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.

13Then they took their bones and buried them under a tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
