Contextual Overview

8 And on the morrowe when the Philistims came to spoyle them that were slaine, they found Saul and his sonnes lying in mount Gilboa. 9 And when they had stript him, they tooke his head and his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistims round about, to publish it vnto their idoles, and to the people. 10 And they layd vp his armour in the house of their god, and set vp his head in the house of Dagon. 11 When all they of Iabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistims had done to Saul, 12 Then they arose (all the valiant men) and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, and brought them to Iabesh, and buryed the bones of them vnder an oke in Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes. 13 So Saul dyed for his transgression, that he committed against the Lord, euen against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and in that he sought & asked counsel of a familiar spirit, 14 And asked not of the Lorde: therefore he slewe him, and turned the kingdome vnto Dauid the sonne of Ishai.
