1 Samuel 31:11-13

11But when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12all their mighty warriors traveled through the night to Beth-shan and took the bodies of Saul and his sons down from the wall. They brought them to Jabesh, where they burned the bodies.

13Then they took their bones and buried them beneath the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted for seven days.
