8Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.
9And they took everything off him, and took his head and his war-dress, and sent word into the land of the Philistines round about to give the news to their gods and to the people.
10And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
11And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.
13So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,
14And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
