1 Samuel 31:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible
9 They cut off Saul's head and they removed his armour. Then they sent men through all the country of the Philistines with the news of Saul's death. These men told the news everywhere that the Philistine people lived and in the temples of their idols. 10 They put Saul's armour in the temple of their god Ashtoreth. Then they hung Saul's dead body on the wall of Beth Shan town.[a]
11 The Israelites who lived in Jabesh Gilead heard about what the Philistines had done to Saul's body.[b]
