1 Samuel
Chapters 31:9-13
Revised Version 1885
9And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto the house of their idols, and to the people.
10And they put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
12all the valiant men arose, and went 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 burnt them there.
13And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
