# Connecting Statement:
Verses 13 and 14 give a summary of why Saul died. If your language has a way of showing that this is not part of the story, you could use it here.
# did not seek guidance from Yahweh
"did not ask Yahweh to guide him"
# turned over the kingdom to David son of Jesse
Here "turned over the kingdom" is an idiom that means to give someone authority over a kingdom. Alternate translation: "made David, son of Jesse, king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
