New King James Version
1 Samuel 31:8-13
8So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the temple of their idols and among the people.
10Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
11Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12all the valiant men arose and traveled 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 burned them there.
13Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
