I was reading an old article published in [Christian Today](http://christiantoday.com) on July 17, 2014, in which Brownie Marie reported that ISIS desecrated the tomb of Jonah, and were burning churches. The only thing I could find in the Bible related to desecrating a tomb or a body is [Amos 2:1](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Amos+2%3A1&version=NKJV) , which reads:
>Thus says the Lord:
> "For three transgressions of Moab, and for four,
> I will not turn away its punishment,
> Because he burned the bones of the King of Edom to lime. [NKJV]
Is this the only example, Amos 2:1? What additional biblical basis is there for not desecrating a grave or a body?
