Context of 1 Chronicles 10:12

10They put his armor in the house of their gods and impaled his head in the house of Dagon. 11When all Jabesh-gilead heard everything that the Philistines had done to Saul, all the valiant men got up 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 for seven days. 13So Saul died for his unfaithfulness 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 her, 14and did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom over to David, the son of Jesse.

Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 10:12

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6-12Saul died together with his three sons and all his house: The Chronicler does not mention Saul’s armor bearer or the rest of his troops (see 1 Samuel 31:6). This emphasizes God's role in removing Saul and replacing him with David (1 Chronicles 10:14).Read the comment
