1 Chronicles 10:1

CHAPTER X

A fatal battle between the Israelites and Philistines in

Gilboa, in which Saul is mortally wounded, and has three sons

slain, 1-6.

The Israelites being totally routed, the Philistines, coming to

strip the dead, find Saul and has three sons among the slain;

they cut off Saul's head, and send it and his armour about the

country to the idol temples; and then fix them up in the house

of Dagon, 7-10.

The men of Jabesh-gilead come by night, and take away the

bodies of Saul and has three sons, and bury them in Jabesh,

11, 12.

The reason of Saul's tragical death; the kingdom is transferred

to David, 13, 14.
