8 And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, & sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, & among the people.
10 And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
11 When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,
12 Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there,
13 And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
