1 Samuel 31:9 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 31:9

7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

8 So 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.

9 And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to ^aproclaim it in the temple of their idols and among the people.

10 ^aThen they put his armor in the temple of the ^bAshtoreths, and ^cthey fastened his body to the wall of ^dBeth Shan.

11 ^aNow when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 ^aall 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 ^bburned them there.
