1 Chronicles 10:8-12 ▼

8 Now it happened on the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9 So they stripped him and took his head and his weapons and sent them all around the land of the Philistines, to proclaim the good news to their idols and to the people.

10 And they placed his weapons in the house of their gods and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

11 Then all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 so all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh, and they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
