1 Samuel 31:11-13

11 Quando os moradores de Jabes-Gileade ouviram isso a respeito de Saul, isto é, o que os filisteus lhe tinham feito,

12 todos os homens valorosos se levantaram e, caminhando a noite toda, tiraram e corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos do muro de Bete-Sã; e voltando a Jabes, ali os queimaram.

13 Depois tomaram os seus ossos, e os sepultaram debaixo da tamargueira, em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.
