- 1 Samuel
by Thomas Coke
CHAP. XXXI.
The Israelites are overcome by the Philistines: Saul and his three sons perish: the Philistines fasten his body to the walls of Bethshan: valiant men from Jabesh-gilead carry off the bodies of Saul and his sons, and bury them near their city.
Before Christ 1055.
