1 Samuel 31:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ The people of Jabesh Gilead heard about what the Philistines had done to Saul. ¹² So all their brave men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan. They brought them to Jabesh. There they burned them. ¹³ Then they got the bones of Saul and his sons and buried them under a tamarisk tree at Jabesh. They didn’t eat anything for seven days.
