1 Samuel 31:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ On the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilbo′a. ⁹ And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines, to carry the good news to their idols^[a] and to the people. ¹⁰ They put his armor in the temple of Ash′taroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
