11 When allJabesh-gilead*heardall that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12
1all the valiantmenarose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh, and they buried their bonesunder the oak in Jabesh, and fastedsevendays.
13
2So Sauldied for his trespasswhich he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORDwhich he did not keep; and also3because he asked counsel of a medium, makinginquiry of it,
14
and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore He killed him and 4turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
This part, 1Ch 10:1-12 which gives an account of the last battle of Saul with the Philistines, and of his death and burial, is the same with 1Sa 31:1-13 see the notes there; the cause of his death follows in 1Ch 10:13.
