Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:1-7

This account of Saul's death is the same with that which we had, 1 Sam. 31:1-13 We need not repeat the exposition of it. Only let us observe, 1. Princes sin and the people suffer for it. It was a bad time with Israel when they fled before the Philistines and fell down slain (1 Chron. 10:1), when they quitted their cities, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them, 1 Chron. 10:7. We do not find that they were at this time guilty of idolatry, as they had been before, in the days of the judges,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:4

And abuse me . The main idea of the Hithp. of the verb here used is to satisfy the thirst of lust or cruelty. Saul probably feared not the abuse of mocking only, but that of torture. In the corresponding passage this verb is preceded by the clause, and thrust me through. His armour-bearer would not . He refused the request or bidding of Saul, no doubt mainly in respect of the fact that Saul was still "the anointed." We have a full description of both the loose arms and of the armour of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:1-14

9:35-22:1 THE REIGN OF DAVIDEnd of the line of Saul (9:35-10:14)Saul is introduced by listing his genealogy once again (35-44). However, the Chronicler passes over the reign of Saul in silence, for his concern is with the dynasty of David. Saul’s death alone is recounted, since that was the means of bringing in the reign of David. It was also God’s judgment on Saul for his unfaithfulness and disobedience (10:1-14; see notes on 1 Samuel 31:1-13). read more

4. his armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid—He was, of course, placed in the same perilous condition as Saul. But it is probable that the feelings that restrained him from complying with Saul's wish were a profound respect for royalty, mingled with apprehension of the shock which such a catastrophe would give to the national feelings and interests. read more

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 10:1-30

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 10:4

(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
