dren of Israelwho lived in that part of the land heard how their army had fled, they fled also,and the Philistines came and lived in the cities they left. The next day, when the Philistines went to strip off the raiment of the menwhom they had killed in the battle, they found Saul and his three sons lyingdead on mount Gilboa. Then they cut off Sauls head and took off his armor,and sent word through the land of the Philistines, so that all their people mightknow it. And they put Sauls armor in the house of their idol, Ashtaroth, andfastened up his dead body, and the dead, bodies of his sons, to the wall of the cityof Beth-shan. But when the Israelites, who lived in Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, all the brave men of that city arose, and went all night till they came to Beth-shan. And they took down the dead bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall, and brought them to Jabesh; there they burnt them, and then took their bones and buried them under a tree. 130
