1 Samuel 31:11

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.

13 Then they took their bones and ^aburied them under the tamarisk tree at ^bJabesh, and fasted seven days.
