09:031:008 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came
           to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons
           fallen in mount Gilboa.

09:031:009 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and
           sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish
           it in the house of their idols, and among the people.

09:031:010 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth:  and they
           fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.

09:031:011 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which
           the Philistines had done to Saul;

09:031:012 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the
           body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of
           Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.

09:031:013 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at
           Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

Book 10 2 Samuel

10:001:001 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was
           returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had
           abode two days in Ziklag;

10:001:002 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man
           came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and
           earth upon his head:  and so it was, when he came to David,
           that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

10:001:003 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou?  And he said
           unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

10:001:004 And David said unto him, How went the matter?  I pray thee,
           tell me.  And he answered, That the people are fled from the
           battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and
           Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

10:001:005 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest
           thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

10:001:006 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance
           upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and,
           lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

10:001:007 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. 
           And I answered, Here am I.

10:001:008 And he said unto me, Who art thou?  And I answered him, I am an
           Amalekite.

10:001:009 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay
           me:  for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole
           in me.

10:001:010 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he
           could not live after that he was fallen:  and I took the crown
           that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm,
           and have brought them hither unto my lord.
