They put Saul's armour in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of their god Dagon.
When the people who lived in Jabesh in Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
they took Saul's weapons, pulled off his armour, and cut off his head. Then they sent messengers everywhere in Philistia to spread the news among their people and to thank the idols of their gods.
