8. And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
9. And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
10. And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
11. And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12. All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
13. So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
14. And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
