1 Samuel 4:1; 1 Samuel 4:2; 1 Samuel 4:3; 1 Samuel 4:6; 1 Samuel 4:7; 1 Samuel 4:9; 1 Samuel 4:10; 1 Samuel 4:17; 1 Samuel 5:1; 1 Samuel 5:2; 1 Samuel 5:8; 1 Samuel 5:11; 1 Samuel 6:1; 1 Samuel 6:2; 1 Samuel 6:4; 1 Samuel 6:12; 1 Samuel 6:16; 1 Samuel 6:17; 1 Samuel 6:18; 1 Samuel 6:21; 1 Samuel 7:3; 1 Samuel 7:7; 1 Samuel 7:8; 1 Samuel 7:10; 1 Samuel 7:11; 1 Samuel 7:13; 1 Samuel 7:14; 1 Samuel 9:16; 1 Samuel 10:5; 1 Samuel 12:9; 1 Samuel 13:3; 1 Samuel 13:4; 1 Samuel 13:5; 1 Samuel 13:11; 1 Samuel 13:12; 1 Samuel 13:16; 1 Samuel 13:17; 1 Samuel 13:19; 1 Samuel 13:20; 1 Samuel 13:23; 1 Samuel 14:1; 1 Samuel 14:4; 1 Samuel 14:11; 1 Samuel 14:19; 1 Samuel 14:21; 1 Samuel 14:22; 1 Samuel 14:30; 1 Samuel 14:31; 1 Samuel 14:36; 1 Samuel 14:37; 1 Samuel 14:46; 1 Samuel 14:47; 1 Samuel 14:52; 1 Samuel 17:1; 1 Samuel 17:2; 1 Samuel 17:3; 1 Samuel 17:4; 1 Samuel 17:8; 1 Samuel 17:10; 1 Samuel 17:11; 1 Samuel 17:16; 1 Samuel 17:19; 1 Samuel 17:21; 1 Samuel 17:23; 1 Samuel 17:26; 1 Samuel 17:32; 1 Samuel 17:33; 1 Samuel 17:36; 1 Samuel 17:37; 1 Samuel 17:40; 1 Samuel 17:41; 1 Samuel 17:42; 1 Samuel 17:43; 1 Samuel 17:44; 1 Samuel 17:45; 1 Samuel 17:46; 1 Samuel 17:48; 1 Samuel 17:49; 1 Samuel 17:50; 1 Samuel 17:51; 1 Samuel 17:52; 1 Samuel 17:53; 1 Samuel 17:54; 1 Samuel 17:55; 1 Samuel 17:57; 1 Samuel 18:6; 1 Samuel 18:17; 1 Samuel 18:21; 1 Samuel 18:25; 1 Samuel 18:27; 1 Samuel 18:30; 1 Samuel 19:5; 1 Samuel 19:8; 1 Samuel 21:9; 1 Samuel 22:10; 1 Samuel 23:1; 1 Samuel 23:2; 1 Samuel 23:3; 1 Samuel 23:4; 1 Samuel 23:5; 1 Samuel 23:27; 1 Samuel 23:28; 1 Samuel 24:1; 1 Samuel 27:1; 1 Samuel 27:7; 1 Samuel 27:11; 1 Samuel 28:1; 1 Samuel 28:4; 1 Samuel 28:5; 1 Samuel 28:15; 1 Samuel 28:19; 1 Samuel 29:1; 1 Samuel 29:2; 1 Samuel 29:3; 1 Samuel 29:4; 1 Samuel 29:7; 1 Samuel 29:9; 1 Samuel 29:11; 1 Samuel 30:16; 1 Samuel 31:1; 1 Samuel 31:2; 1 Samuel 31:7; 1 Samuel 31:8; 1 Samuel 31:9; 1 Samuel 31:11

1 Samuel 4:1

1 Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped beside Ebenezer while the Philistines camped in Aphek.

1 Samuel 4:2

2 The Philistines drew up in battle array to meet Israel. When the battle spread, Israel was defeated before the Philistines who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield .

1 Samuel 4:3

3 When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us take to ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the LORD , that it may come among us and deliver us from the power of our enemies."

1 Samuel 4:6

6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" Then they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.

1 Samuel 4:7

7 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp." And they said, "Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

1 Samuel 4:9

9 "Take courage and be men, O Philistines, or you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they have been slaves to you; therefore, be men and fight."

1 Samuel 4:10

10 So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent; and the slaughter was very great, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

1 Samuel 4:17

17 Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken."

1 Samuel 5:1

1 Now the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

1 Samuel 5:2

2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon.

1 Samuel 5:8

8 So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" And they said, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath." And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around.

1 Samuel 5:11

11 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

1 Samuel 6:1

1 Now the ark of the LORD had been in the country of the Philistines seven months.

1 Samuel 6:2

2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD ? Tell us how we shall send it to its place."

1 Samuel 6:4

4 Then they said, "What shall be the guilt offering which we shall return to Him?" And they said, "Five golden tumors and five golden mice according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for one plague was on all of you and on your lords.

1 Samuel 6:12

12 And the cows took the straight way in the direction of Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth-shemesh.

1 Samuel 6:16

16 When the five lords of the Philistines saw it, they returned to Ekron that day.

1 Samuel 6:17

17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to the LORD : one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

1 Samuel 6:18

18 and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages. The large stone on which they set the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.

1 Samuel 6:21

21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD ; come down and take it up to you."

1 Samuel 7:3

3 Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you return to the LORD with all your heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your hearts to the LORD and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

1 Samuel 7:7

7 Now when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

1 Samuel 7:8

8 Then the sons of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

1 Samuel 7:10

10 Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were routed before Israel.

1 Samuel 7:11

11 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them down as far as below Beth-car.

1 Samuel 7:13

13 So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come anymore within the border of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

1 Samuel 7:14

14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. So there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

1 Samuel 9:16

16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."

1 Samuel 10:5

5 "Afterward you will come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and they will be prophesying.

1 Samuel 12:9

9 "But they forgot the LORD their God, so He sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

1 Samuel 13:3

3 Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

1 Samuel 13:4

4 All Israel heard the news that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. The people were then summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

1 Samuel 13:5

5 Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.

1 Samuel 13:11

11 But Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,

1 Samuel 13:12

12 therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the LORD .' So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering."

1 Samuel 13:16

16 Now Saul and his son Jonathan and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.

1 Samuel 13:17

17 And the raiders came from the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual,

1 Samuel 13:19

19 Now no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."

1 Samuel 13:20

20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his hoe.

1 Samuel 13:23

23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

1 Samuel 14:1

1 Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

1 Samuel 14:4

4 Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

1 Samuel 14:11

11 When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, "Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves."

1 Samuel 14:19

19 While Saul talked to the priest, the commotion in the camp of the Philistines continued and increased; so Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

1 Samuel 14:21

21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

1 Samuel 14:22

22 When all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, even they also pursued them closely in the battle.

1 Samuel 14:30

30 "How much more , if only the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great."

1 Samuel 14:31

31 They struck among the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very weary.

1 Samuel 14:36

36 Then Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." And they said, "Do whatever seems good to you." So the priest said, "Let us draw near to God here."

1 Samuel 14:37

37 Saul inquired of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?" But He did not answer him on that day.

1 Samuel 14:46

46 Then Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

1 Samuel 14:47

47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.

1 Samuel 14:52

52 Now the war against the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he attached him to his staff.

1 Samuel 17:1

1 Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

1 Samuel 17:2

2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and camped in the valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array to encounter the Philistines.

1 Samuel 17:3

3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

1 Samuel 17:4

4 Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

1 Samuel 17:8

8 He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, "Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

1 Samuel 17:10

10 Again the Philistine said, "I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man that we may fight together."

1 Samuel 17:11

11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

1 Samuel 17:16

16 The Philistine came forward morning and evening for forty days and took his stand.

1 Samuel 17:19

19 "For Saul and they and all the men of Israel are in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."

1 Samuel 17:21

21 Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle array, army against army.

1 Samuel 17:23

23 As he was talking with them, behold, the champion , the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines, and he spoke these same words; and David heard them.

1 Samuel 17:26

26 Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?"

1 Samuel 17:32

32 David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail on account of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

1 Samuel 17:33

33 Then Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."

1 Samuel 17:36

36 "Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God."

1 Samuel 17:37

37 And David said, "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and may the LORD be with you."

1 Samuel 17:40

40 He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.

1 Samuel 17:41

41 Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.

1 Samuel 17:42

42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.

1 Samuel 17:43

43 The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

1 Samuel 17:44

44 The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."

1 Samuel 17:45

45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.

1 Samuel 17:46

46 "This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

1 Samuel 17:48

48 Then it happened when the Philistine rose and came and drew near to meet David, that David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.

1 Samuel 17:49

49 And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.

1 Samuel 17:50

50 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David's hand.

1 Samuel 17:51

51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

1 Samuel 17:52

52 The men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the slain Philistines lay along the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and Ekron.

1 Samuel 17:53

53 The sons of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines and plundered their camps.

1 Samuel 17:54

54 Then David took the Philistine's head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent.

1 Samuel 17:55

55 Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this young man?" And Abner said, "By your life, O king, I do not know."

1 Samuel 17:57

57 So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine's head in his hand.

1 Samuel 18:6

6 It happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with musical instruments.

1 Samuel 18:17

17 Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

1 Samuel 18:21

21 Saul thought, "I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "For a second time you may be my son-in-law today."

1 Samuel 18:25

25 Saul then said, "Thus you shall say to David, 'The king does not desire any dowry except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies.' " Now Saul planned to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

1 Samuel 18:27

27 David rose up and went, he and his men, and struck down two hundred men among the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.

1 Samuel 18:30

30 Then the commanders of the Philistines went out to battle, and it happened as often as they went out, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul. So his name was highly esteemed.

1 Samuel 19:5

5 "For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?"

1 Samuel 19:8

8 When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with great slaughter, so that they fled before him.

1 Samuel 21:9

9 Then the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

1 Samuel 22:10

10 "He inquired of the LORD for him, gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."

1 Samuel 23:1

1 Then they told David, saying, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are plundering the threshing floors."

1 Samuel 23:2

2 So David inquired of the LORD , saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and deliver Keilah."

1 Samuel 23:3

3 But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?"

1 Samuel 23:4

4 Then David inquired of the LORD once more . And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand.

1 Samuel 23:5

5 So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines; and he led away their livestock and struck them with a great slaughter. Thus David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.

1 Samuel 23:27

27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."

1 Samuel 23:28

28 So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape.

1 Samuel 24:1

1 Now when Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, saying, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi."

1 Samuel 27:1

1 Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."

1 Samuel 27:7

7 The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.

1 Samuel 27:11

11 David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.' "

1 Samuel 28:1

1 Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men."

1 Samuel 28:4

4 So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together and they camped in Gilboa.

1 Samuel 28:5

5 When Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly.

1 Samuel 28:15

15 Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do."

1 Samuel 28:19

19 "Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!"

1 Samuel 29:1

1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek, while the Israelites were camping by the spring which is in Jezreel.

1 Samuel 29:2

2 And the lords of the Philistines were proceeding on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were proceeding on in the rear with Achish.

1 Samuel 29:3

3 Then the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him from the day he deserted to me to this day?"

1 Samuel 29:4

4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, or in the battle he may become an adversary to us. For with what could this man make himself acceptable to his lord ? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

1 Samuel 29:7

7 "Now therefore return and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

1 Samuel 29:9

9 But Achish replied to David, "I know that you are pleasing in my sight, like an angel of God; nevertheless the commanders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'

1 Samuel 29:11

11 So David arose early, he and his men, to depart in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

1 Samuel 30:16

16 When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

1 Samuel 31:1

1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

1 Samuel 31:2

2 The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua the sons of Saul.

1 Samuel 31:7

7 When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, with those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; then the Philistines came and lived in them.

1 Samuel 31:8

8 It came about on the next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

1 Samuel 31:9

9 They cut off his head and stripped off his weapons, and sent them throughout the land of the Philistines, to carry the good news to the house of their idols and to the people.

1 Samuel 31:11

11 Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
