5. When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.
6. So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
7. When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8. On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9. They stripped him, and took his head and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
10. They put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11. When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12. all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
