9. And they cut off his head and stripped off his weapons and sent them 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 weapons 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 and went 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.
