And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
Pusieron su armadura en el templo de su diosa Astarot, y colgaron su cuerpo en la muralla de Bet-sán.
Los filisteos pusieron la armadura de Saúl en el templo de su diosa y colgaron su cuerpo en la muralla de la ciudad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, this verse describes the aftermath of the battle on Mount Gilboa, where the Philistines decisively defeated King Saul and his army, leading to his death. The Philistines, as pagan worshippers, placed Saul's armor in the temple of Ashtaroth, their fertility goddess, as a way to honor their gods with war spoils, while fastening his body to the wall of Bethshan as a public display of victory and humiliation. This reflects the common ancient Near Eastern practice of desecrating enemies to assert dominance and religious superiority over Israel.
