1 Samuel 31:8-13

⁸It came about on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip those killed, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. ⁹They cut off his head and stripped off his weapons, and sent them throughout the land of the Philistines, to bring the good news to the house of their idols and to the people. ¹⁰They put his weapons in the temple of Ashtaroth, and they nailed his body to the wall of Beth-shan. ¹¹Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, ¹²all the valiant men got up and walked all night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Jabesh and burned them there. ¹³And they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
