came to strip the slain

on 1 Chronicles 10:8-10

Samuel's account puts Saul's armor in the house of Ashtaroth and fastens his body to the wall of Bethshan; Chronicles generalizes the armor to the house of their gods and fastens the head, not the body, in the temple of Dagon. The two accounts are read as complementary displays across separate Philistine shrines rather than as a contradiction, though neither text says so outright. John Wesley reads the whole scene as a rebuke: if Israel will not give the true God the glory of its own victories, even the Philistines will rise up in judgment against it.
