1 Chronicles 10:13-14

13 ¹So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD which he did not keep; and also ²because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,

14 and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore He killed him and ³turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
