1 Samuel 31:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, with those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; then the Philistines came and lived in them.

⁸ It came about on the ^[a]next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. ⁹ They cut off his head and stripped off his weapons, and sent them ^[b]throughout the land of the Philistines, ^(A)to carry the good news ^(B)to the house of their idols and to the people.
