11 When all the people of Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 all their warriors arose and recovered the corpses of Saul and his sons. They brought them back to Jabesh, buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord and hadn’t followed the Lord’s word. He even consulted a medium for guidance.
14 He didn’t consult the Lord, so the Lord killed him and gave the kingdom to David, Jesse’s son.
