8. And it happened that on the next day when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9. And they stripped him and took his head and his weapons, and they sent them throughout the land of the Philistines to bring news to their idols and the nation.
10. And they put his weapons in the temple of their gods, and they fastened his skull to the temple of Dagon.
11. When all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12. every strong man arose and took the dead body of Saul and the dead bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
13. So Saul died on account of his sin which he had sinned against Yahweh concerning the command of Yahweh that he did not keep. He also consulted a medium to seek guidance.
14. But he did not seek Yahweh. So Yahweh put him to death and turned over the kingship to David, the son of Jesse.
