The narrative begins with Israel’s defeat by the Philistines on Mount Gilboa. Saul’s sons are killed, Saul is wounded and dies, and the Philistines display his body and weapons. Men of Jabesh-gilead recover and bury the bodies. Chronicles then interprets Saul’s fall: he was unfaithful to the LORD, did not keep God’s word, and sought guidance from a medium rather than from the LORD; the kingdom is transferred to David.
