Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 10:1-14

A. The Death of Saul ch. 10"Having established the remnant’s genealogical link with the Davidic and priestly lines, he [the writer] focused on the groundwork of the Davidic promises. His design was to show how the kingly and priestly concerns came together in David. David is then seen as a model for the postexilic community as they look forward to One like David." [Note: Townsend, p. 286.] Chapter 10 is an almost verbatim repetition of Saul’s defeat as the writer of Samuel recorded it in 1... read more

II. THE REIGN OF DAVID CHS. 10-29In all of Chronicles the writer assumed his readers’ acquaintance with the other Old Testament historical books. This is especially true regarding what Samuel and Kings contain. These books, or at least the information in them, appears to have been well known by the returning exiles."The reigns of Saul, David and Solomon over a united Israel are central to the concerns of the Chronicler, about half his narrative material being devoted to these three kings alone.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 10:1-14

Saul’s Overthrow and DeathThis chapter is abbreviated from 1 Samuel 31:1-13, but supplements it by statements that Saul’s head was fastened in the temple of Dagon, and by a brief explanation of the causes of his overthrow.6. All his house] This cannot mean ’all his family,’ since Ish-bosheth and others of his children survived him (2 Samuel 2:8; 2 Samuel 21:8), but must refer to those of his household who attended him at Gilboa. 13. His transgression] The writer refers to what is related in 1... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 10:2

(2) The Philistines followed hard after Saul.—Literally, clave to Saul, that is, hotly pursued him. (Comp. 1 Kings 22:31.) The destruction of the king and his sons would make their triumph complete.The sons of Saul.—Omit the. Eshbaal, Saul’s fourth son, was not in the battle (2 Samuel 2:8. Comp. 1 Chronicles 8:33). Like Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, Saul may have witnessed the death of his sons (2 Kings 25:7). Jonathan, at least, would not be far from him in the last struggle. “In their... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 10:3

(3) The battle went sore against Saul.—Literally, was heavy upon (Samuel, “unto”) him, like a burden weighing him to the earth.And the archers hit him.—Literally, And they that shoot with the bow came upon him; and he shuddered (Sam., “greatly”) before the shooters. “He shuddered or trembled” (Deuteronomy 2:25). The verb is properly to writhe, travail (Isaiah 23:4). Saul’s deadly terror was natural. He believed himself forsaken of God, and stood now, after a lost battle, beset by murderous... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 10:4

(4) And Saul said.—So Abimelech (Judges 9:54). Lest these uncircumcised come.—Sam. Adds “and thrust me through.” An inadvertent repetition there, or omission here, is possible. Or, we might say, Saul preferred death by a friendly stroke to the thrusts of insulting foemen.And abuse me.—The Hebrew means, strictly, “to make a toy of,” “sport with.” “How I have made a toy of Egypt” (Exodus 10:2); and is used (Jeremiah 38:19) of insulting a fallen foe, as here.Took a sword.—Literally, the... read more

II. THE OVERTHROW AND END OF SAUL CHAPTER 10 1. The overthrow and death of Saul (1 Chronicles 10:1-7 ) 2. The burial of Saul and his sons (1 Chronicles 10:8-12 ) 3. The cause of Saul’s failure (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ) 1 Samuel 31:0 contains the same record of Saul’s miserable end and trial. The writer of Chronicles uses the departure of Saul to introduce the history of the king after God’s own heart, why God had dealt with Saul in judgment, and that the kingdom was turned unto David,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:1-14

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 10:1-14

Life a Battlefield 1 Chronicles 10:0 WE now come to a portion of the history which is so clearly a repetition that we need not follow it in all its well-known detail. Having already treated nearly the whole of the matter at some length, it will be sufficient now to rest at a point here and there which will enable us to fill in some practical and suggestive instruction. Let it be understood however that what we are about to do is rather of the nature of indication than of exposition. The... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:1-7

I shall desire the Reader once for all, while over going such parts in the book of the Chronicles as we have already reviewed in the former books of Samuel or the Kings, to consult what hath been already offered in that part of our humble Commentary. It would swell this little work unnecessarily to enlarge upon such portions as are only the duplicates of the history. Whatever opens to a new thought, or affords, a new occasion to spiritualize the passage, in such instances I shall beg to detain... read more
