1Sa 31:8-10. The Philistines triumph over their dead bodies.

on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen - On discovering the corpses of the slaughtered princes on the battlefield, the enemy reserved them for special indignities. They consecrated the armor of the king and his sons to the temple of Ashtaroth fastened their bodies on the temple of Shen, while they fixed the royal heads ignominiously in the temple of Dagon (1Ch 10:10); thus dividing the glory among their several deities.
