1 Samuel 31:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 31:9

And they cut off his head
And fastened it in the temple of Dagon, ( 1 Chronicles 10:10 ) ; perhaps that which was at Ashdod, one of the principalities of the Philistines, ( 1 Samuel 5:1 1 Samuel 5:2 ) ;

and stripped off his armour;
or vessels F8, his clothes as well as his armour, and what he had about him; as for his crown on his head, and the bracelet on his arm, the Amalekite took them before the Philistines came, ( 2 Samuel 1:10 ) ;

and sent into the land of the Philistines round about:
not his head and his armour, for they were placed in the temple of their idols; unless we can suppose these were first carried about for show, and as proofs of the victory: but rather messengers, who were sent express with the news,

to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people;
that so they might be glad and rejoice, and give praise to their idols, to whom they ascribed the success they had.

9 Entonces le cortaron la cabeza a Saúl y le quitaron su armadura. Luego proclamaron las buenas noticias de la muerte de Saúl en su templo pagano y a la gente en toda la tierra de Filistea.
10 Pusieron su armadura en el templo de Astoret, y colgaron su cuerpo en la muralla de la ciudad de Bet-sán.
11 Pero cuando el pueblo de Jabes de Galaad se enteró de lo que los filisteos le habían hecho a Saúl,
