1 Chronicles 10:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² All the brave men from Jabesh Gilead went to get the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them back to Jabesh Gilead. They buried the bones of Saul and his sons under the large tree in Jabesh. Then they showed their sadness and fasted for seven days.

¹³ Saul died because he was not faithful to the Lord. He did not obey the Lord’s word. Saul also went to a medium and asked her for advice ¹⁴ instead of asking the Lord. That is why the Lord killed Saul and gave the kingdom to Jesse’s son David.
