Beth-shan Or Beth-shean
Beth-shan or Beth-Shean
The meaning is "house of safety" but it was not so good for the end of Saul and his sons:
QUOTE (1 Samuel)
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his abody to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 ¶ And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
