10 They placed his armor in the shrine of their gods, hanging his head in the shrine of Dagon.[a]
11 When all the people in Jabesh-gilead heard about everything that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all of their brave men rose up and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons. They brought them to Jabesh and buried their bones under the oak tree in Jabesh. They then fasted for seven days.

- 1 Chronicles 10:10 Shrine of Dagon: with the victory of the Philistines over the Israelites, the armor and head of Saul were presented to their most important god.
