1 Chronicles 10:13
Compare all
11 And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 all the avaliant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to bJabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.  
13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had1 committed against the Lord, abecause he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because bhe consulted a medium for guidance.  
14 But he did not inquire of the Lord; therefore He killed him, and aturned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

1 Chronicles 10:1-14

The death of Saul.

- The design chiefly in view in these books of the Chronicles, appears to be to preserve the records of the house of David. Therefore the writer repeats not the history of Saul's reign, but only of his death, by which a way was made for David to the throne. And from the ruin of Saul, we may learn, 1. That the sin of sinners will certainly find them out, sooner or later; Saul died for his transgression. 2. That no man's greatness can exempt him from the judgments of God. 3. Disobedience is a killing thing. Saul died for not keeping the word of the Lord. May be delivered from unbelief, impatience, and despair. By waiting on the Lord we shall obtain a kingdom that cannot be moved.
