1 Samuel 31:11

11 But when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

1 Samuel 31:11 In-Context

9 So they cut off Saul’s head and stripped off his armor. Then they proclaimed the good news of Saul’s death in their pagan temple and to the people throughout the land of Philistia.
10 They placed his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of the city of Beth-shan.
11 But when the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 all their mighty warriors traveled through the night to Beth-shan and took the bodies of Saul and his sons down from the wall. They brought them to Jabesh, where they burned the bodies.
13 Then they took their bones and buried them beneath the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted for seven days.
