Context of 1 Chronicles 10:12
10They put Saul’s armor in the house of their gods and nailed up his head in the house (temple) of Dagon. 11When all Jabesh-gilead heard about everything that the Philistines had done to Saul, all the brave men arose, 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; then they fasted seven days. 13So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord, for his failure to keep the word of the Lord; and also because he consulted a medium [regarding a spirit of the dead], to inquire of her, 14and did not inquire of the Lord [instead]. Therefore the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
