1 Samuel 31:10-13 ▼

10 They put his armor in the temple of Astarte but impaled his body on the wall of Beth-shan.

11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 all their warriors set out and traveled through the night; they removed the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and, returning to Jabesh, burned them.

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