9 And when they had stripped [06584] him, they took [05375] his head [07218], and his armour [03627], and sent [07971] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430] round about [05439], to carry tidings [01319] unto their idols [06091], and to the people [05971].
10 And they put [07760] his armour [03627] in the house [01004] of their gods [0430], and fastened [08628] his head [01538] in the temple [01004] of Dagon [01712].
11 And when all Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] heard [08085] all that the Philistines [06430] had done [06213] to Saul [07586],
12 They arose [06965], all the valiant [02428] men [0376], and took away [05375] the body [01480] of Saul [07586], and the bodies [01480] of his sons [01121], and brought [0935] them to Jabesh [03003], and buried [06912] their bones [06106] under the oak [0424] in Jabesh [03003], and fasted [06684] seven [07651] days [03117].
