Contextual Overview

8 And it happened on the next day, the Philistines came to strip those pierced. And they found Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him, and carried his head and his weapons, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around to proclaim the news to their idols and the people. 10 And they put his weapons in the house of their gods; and they fastened his skull in the house of Dagon. 11 And all Jabesh-gilead heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul. 12 And all the valiant men arose and carried away Saul's body, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh; and fasted seven days. 13 And Saul died because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the Word of Jehovah that he did not keep, and also for asking of a medium, to inquire; 14 and did not inquire of Jehovah. And He caused him to die, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
