10 They placed his armor in the temple of their gods, and they fastened his head to the temple of Dagon.
11 But when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 all their mighty warriors brought the bodies of Saul and his sons back to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones beneath the great tree at Jabesh, and they fasted for seven days.
13 So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the lord. He failed to obey the lord’s command, and he even consulted a medium
14 instead of asking the lord for guidance. So the lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
