After the Philistine victory over Israel on Mt. Gilboa, a Philistine soldier leaves the battlefield with the dead lying all about and carries away his sword and shield and the head of King Saul. Shown in the Temple for the Philistine gods nearby is Saul's armor and sword hanging on the wall, as a fire is burning nearby on the altar. Also used to illustrate Judas Maccabeus' victory over Apollonius' armies (in which Apollonius was killed) in 1 Macc 3.
