I Samuel 31:8–13

And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe. 9And they cut off Saul's head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols and among their people. 10And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan. 11Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12All the most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there. 13And they took their bones, and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.
