1 Chronicles 10:12-14 ▼

12 every valiant soldier got up, removed the bodies of Saul and his sons, took them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for seven days.

13 So Saul died for his transgressions; that is, he acted unfaithfully to the LORD by transgressing the message from the LORD (which he did not keep), by consulting a medium for advice,

14 and by not seeking counsel from the LORD, who therefore put him to death and turned the kingdom over to Jesse's son David.
