11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance,
14 and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
