1 Samuel 31:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 The Israelites who lived in Jabesh Gilead heard about what the Philistines had done to Saul's body.[a] 12 So all their brave soldiers left Jabesh Gilead and they marched all night to Beth Shan. They removed the dead bodies of Saul and his sons from the town's wall. Then they took them to Jabesh Gilead. They burned the dead bodies there. 13 Then they took the bones and they buried them under a tamarisk tree at Jabesh Gilead. The men did not eat any food for seven days because they were so sad.
