1 Samuel 31:7-9
English Standard Version

8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 So they cut off his head and stripped off his armor and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines, (A)to carry the good news (B)to the house of their idols and to the people.
