1 Samuel 31:8-13

[8] And it came to pass on the morrow,  when the Philistines  came  to strip  the slain,  that they found  Saul  and his three  sons  fallen  in mount  Gilboa.  [9] And they cut off  his head,  and stripped off  his armour,  and sent  into the land  of the Philistines  round about,  to publish  it in the house  of their idols,  and among the people.  [10] And they put  his armour  in the house  of Ashtaroth:  and they fastened  his body  to the wall  of Bethshan.  [11] And when the inhabitants  of Jabeshgilead  heard  of that which the Philistines  had done  to Saul;  [12] All the valiant  men  arose,  all night,  and took  the body  of Saul  and the bodies  of his sons  from the wall  of Bethshan,  and came  to Jabesh,  and burnt  them there. [13] And they took  their bones,  and buried  them under a tree  at Jabesh,  and fasted  seven  days.
