Daily Bible Reading: 1 Samual 31

The Philistines went to war against Israel until Israel ran. The Philistines chased after them, with the intent of slaying Saul and his sons. They killed his sons, then Saul was hit with arrows and badly wounded. Saul begged his armourbearer to kill him, but the armourbearer refused. So, Saul fell on his sword, committing suicide.
The armourbearer then committed suicide as well.

When Israel that was on the other side of the valley saw that Saul and his sons and his men were dead, they fled from their cities, and the Philistines took over the cities. When the Philistines went to gather the spoils from the dead, they found Saul and cut off his head.

They put his armour in the house of Ashteroth, their god that is a demon of the first hierarchy that seduces by means of vanity, reason, and laziness. Then, they pinned his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
Gilead heard about it, they snuck in and took Saul and his sons and burned the bodies, buried the bones under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.

The lesson I got out of this is that what God says is going to happen, happens.
