The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons lying on Mount Gilboa.

They stripped him and took his head and his armor. Then they sent men throughout Philistine territory to tell their idols and the people this good news.
10
They put his armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his head to the temple of Dagon.

When all the people of Jabesh Gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,

all the fighting men came and took away the dead bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. They buried the bones under the oak tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted seven days.
