The day after the battle, which perhaps was fought till night came on:

of their clothes, and take from them whatever was valuable, as their booty:

that they found Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa;
to which they had betaken themselves, when the battle went against them in the valley; of which see ( 1 Samuel 28:4 ) .
