Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 Chronicles 10
⁶ Thus Saul died with his three sons, and all those of his house died together.
⁷ When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
⁸ It came about the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
⁹ So they stripped him and took his head and his armor and sent messengers around the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people.
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.’"
