1 Chronicles 10:8-14

8 It happened on the next day, when the Pelishtim came to strip the slain, that they found Sha'ul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Pelishtim round about, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
10 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 When all Yavesh-Gil`ad heard all that the Pelishtim had done to Sha'ul,
12 all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Sha'ul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yavesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Yavesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Sha'ul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD, which he didn't keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire [thereby],
14 and didn't inquire of the LORD: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Yishai.
