1 Chronicles 10:13

Verse 13 of 14. The 10th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

9They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.

10They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

11When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

12all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

13So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,

14and didn’t inquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
