King Saul’s head
(1 Chr 10:8-10) And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people. And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

Hi all!
OK, here’s a new question.
The phrase is, “You can’t take it with you.” But someone in the Tanakh (what we call what Christians call the “Old Testament”; this is the only hint I’m giving) did take it with him, he took it all with him (not that it helped him much).
Who is he?Be well!

The only people I can think of are Enoch & Elijah, but that makes no sense at all…So both are wrong! I need another clue!!

Correct!
1Kings 1:2-4
2

His servants therefore said to him, “Let a young virgin be sought to attend you, lord king, and to nurse you. If she sleeps with your royal majesty, you will be kept warm.”

3

So they sought for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunamite, whom they brought to the king.

4

The maiden, who was very beautiful, nursed the king and cared for him, but the king did not have relations with her.
1 Kings 2:13-17
13

Go, visit King David, and say to him, ‘Did you not, lord king, swear to your handmaid: Your son Solomon shall be king after me and shall sit upon my throne? Why, then, has Adonijah become king?’

14

And while you are still there speaking to the king, I will come in after you and confirm what you have said."

15

So Bathsheba visited the king in his room, while Abishag the Shunamite was attending him because of his advanced age.

16

Bathsheba bowed in homage to the king, who said to her, “What do you wish?”

17

She answered him: "My lord, you swore to me your handmaid by the LORD, your God, that my son Solomon should reign after you and sit upon your throne.
