"So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the temple of their idols and among the people. Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Bet Shan. 1 Samuel 31:8-10, NKJV. #HangingBodies
One of the most horrible ways to show defeat, a manner which is called a 'curse' by God in the scriptures, is to hang a body before or after death; many prominent leaders and kings suffered humiliation by succumbing to this fate, even the blessed Lord Jesus Christ.
