1 Chronicles 10:11-13
New King James Version
11 And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the (A)valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to (B)Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had [a]committed against the Lord, (C)because he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because (D)he consulted a medium for guidance.

11 But when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the valiant men arose 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 seven days.
13 So Saul died (A)for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also (B)consulted a medium, seeking guidance.
