       1 Chronicles 10:11-14 King James Version (KJV)
       11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had
       done to Saul,
       12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of
       Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh,
       and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven
       days.
       13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against
       the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not,
       and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit,
       to enquire of it;
       14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and
       turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
       1 Chronicles 10:11-14 New Life Version (NLV)
       11 All the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines
       had done to Saul. 12 So all the powerful soldiers went and took
       the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them to Jabesh and
       buried their bones under the oak tree there. Then they went
       without food for seven days.
       13 So Saul died for his sin against the Lord, because he did not
       keep the Word of the Lord. He had asked a woman who spoke with
       spirits what he should do.14 He did not ask the Lord. So the
       Lord killed him, and gave the nation to David the son of Jesse.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       11 The news spread this was sad news for Israel but was good
       news for the Philistines.
       12 They recaptured the body of Saul and got his sons bodies so
       they could bury them, this may have not been done right away
       because the Philistines had Saul’s body. This is shown it may
       not have been right away because they bury the bones under the
       tree, they mourn after they bury the bones of the royal family.
       We are to mourn death, we have to move on though, this period of
       mourning that is all that was done mourning, seven days were set
       apart for it that does not mean that were not sadden afterwards,
       they just had to go on with their lives in even though their
       king was dead.
       13 Saul went to a witch woman, someone who talked to dead
       spirits so that he could hear from Samuel, the truth is if Saul
       was willing to listen to God’s word then God would have sent him
       a prophet to tell Saul. Saul turned away from the Lord over time
       starting with his jealousy for David.
       14 David was to be the next king this was God’s plan and was set
       to action before Saul’s death. God has a plan and gives us a
       hope for tomorrow if we look to Him.
