Bible in Basic English
And they put his war-dress in the house of their gods, and put up his head in the house of Dagon.
And when the news came to Jabesh-gilead of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.
So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,
And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
— 1 Chronicles 10:10-1964, Bible in Basic English
“And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. And when all Jabesh–gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 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. 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; And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. ”
