5
When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.
6
So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.
7
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8
It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul 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 Philistines 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 Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12
all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of the word of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
