6And so Saul dyed, & his three sonnes, and his harnesse bearer, and al his men that same day together.
7And when the men of Israel, that were on the other syde of the valley, and they of the other syde Iordaine, sawe that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, they left the cities, and ran away, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8On the morow when the Philistines were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa.
9And they cut of his head, and stripped him out of his harnesse, & sent into the land of ye Philistines on euery syde, that they should puplishe it in the temple of their idolles, and among the people.
10And they layed vp his harnesse in the house of Astaroth: but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Bethsan.
11When the inhabitauntes of Iabes in Gilead heard thereof, what the Philistines had done to Saul:
12They arose, as many as were strong men, and went all night, & toke the bodie of Saul, & the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Bethsan, and came to Iabes, and burnt them there.
13And toke their bones & buryed them vnder a tree at Iabes, & fasted seuen dayes.
