1 Chronicles 10:13

13 Therefore Saul was dead for his wickednesses, for he brake the behest of the Lord, which he [had] commanded, and kept not it, but furthermore also he took counsel at a woman having a fiend speaking in the womb, (And so Saul died for his wickedness, for he broke the word of the Lord/for he broke the command of the Lord, which the Lord had commanded, and he did not obey, but he also took counsel with a woman having a spirit speaking in her womb,)

1 Chronicles 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 10:13

So Saul died for his transgression
(See Gill on 1 Samuel 31:13) A violent and dishonourable death, which was suffered on account of the sins he was guilty of:

one was, which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of
the Lord, which he kept not;
both in not staying for Samuel the time appointed, and by sparing the Amalekites whom he was bid to destroy, ( 1 Samuel 13:13 1 Samuel 13:14 ) ( 1 Samuel 15:3 1 Samuel 15:9 )

and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to
inquire of it;
what he should do with respect to engaging in battle with the Philistines, ( 1 Samuel 28:8 1 Samuel 28:15 ) which to do was contrary to an express command of God, ( Leviticus 19:31 ) .

1 Chronicles 10:13 In-Context

11 When men of Jabesh of Gilead had heard this, that is, all things which the Philistines did on Saul, (And when some men of Jabesh of Gilead had heard about this, that is, all the things that the Philistines had done to Saul,)

12 all [the] strong men rose (up) together, and took the dead bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought those into Jabesh; and they buried the bones of them under an oak, that was in Jabesh; and fasted seven days.

13 Therefore Saul was dead for his wickednesses, for he brake the behest of the Lord, which he [had] commanded, and kept not it, but furthermore also he took counsel at a woman having a fiend speaking in the womb, (And so Saul died for his wickedness, for he broke the word of the Lord/for he broke the command of the Lord, which the Lord had commanded, and he did not obey, but he also took counsel with a woman having a spirit speaking in her womb,)

14 and he hoped not in the Lord; for which thing both the Lord killed him, and translated his realm to David, the son of Jesse. (and he asked not of the Lord; for which thing the Lord killed him, and turned his kingdom over to Jesse's son David.)
