1 Chronicles 10:12 In-Context

10 They put his weapons in one of their temples and hung his head in the temple of their god Dagon.

11 When the people of Jabesh in Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 the bravest men went and got the bodies of Saul and his sons and took them to Jabesh. They buried them there under an oak and fasted for seven days.

13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He disobeyed the Lord's commands; he tried to find guidance by consulting the spirits of the dead

14 instead of consulting the Lord. So the Lord killed him and gave control of the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
