7
When all the men of Isra'el who were in the valley saw them fleeing and that Sha'ul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled; then the P'lishtim came and lived in them.
8
The following day, when the P'lishtim came to strip the dead, they found Sha'ul and his sons lying dead on Mount Gilboa.
9
They stripped him, then took his head and his armor and sent them all over the territory of the P'lishtim to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
10
They put his armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his skull to the temple of Dagon.
11
When everyone in Yavesh-Gil'ad heard all that the P'lishtim had done to Sha'ul,
12
all their warriors set out, took away the body of Sha'ul and the bodies of his sons, brought them to Yavesh, buried their bones under the pistachio tree in Yavesh and fasted seven days.
13
So Sha'ul died for the transgression he committed against ADONAI, because of the word of ADONAI that he did not keep and because he sought the counsel of a spirit
14
instead of consulting ADONAI. Therefore ADONAI put him to death and turned the rulership over to David the son of Yishai.
