1 Chronicles 10:7

And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, out in the open country, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them, establishing their outposts in the very midst of the country of Israel. Thus the wrath of the Lord overtook Saul, because he had forsaken His precepts and insisted upon going his own way. God will not be mocked, as many a scoffer has found out to his sorrow.
