1 Chronicles 10:8-12
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And on the morrow when the Philistines came to spoil them that were slain, they found Saul and his sons [a]lying in mount Gilboa.
9 And when they had stripped him, they took his head and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it unto their idols, and to the people.
10 And they laid up his armor in the house of their god, and set up his head in the house of [b]Dagon.
11 ¶ When all they of Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 Then they arose (all the valiant men) and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried the bones of them under an oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
