9 So they stripped Saul, removed his head and his armor, and circulated the news of his demise throughout the land of the Philistines to their idols as well as the people.
10 Then they placed his armor in the temple of their gods, while his head they impaled in the house of Dagon.
11 Now all Jabesh Gilead heard about everything the Philistines did to Saul,
12 so their valiant men rose up and carried the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted, mourning seven days.
13 So Saul died because of his unfaithful deeds against the Lord, because of his failure to keep the word of the Lord, and because he sought to consult a spirit of divination
14 but did not seek the Lord. So He killed him and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
