8. And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9. And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10. And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11. And 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 the Lord, because of the word of the Lord, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby,
14. and inquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
