New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Chronicles 10
10 They put his armor in the house of their gods and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 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 they 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 did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,
14 and did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 11
1 Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord your God said to you, ’You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be prince over My people Israel.’"
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through Samuel.
4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not enter here." Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David).
6 Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
