歴代志上 10:6-7 JC

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 10:6

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:6

All his house . In place of these words, the parallel ( 1 Samuel 31:6 ) has, "And his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together." This reading avoids the ambiguity referred to already ( 1 Chronicles 10:2 ). In either passage the moral is plain, that the end and ruin of Saul's family as a whole had arrived, rather than literally that the whole, including every member, of that family had perished. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:7

In the valley . In place of these words, the parallel ( 1 Samuel 31:7 ) has, "On the other side of the valley, and.; on the other side Jordan." We have here a clear instance of the desire of the compiler of Chronicles to compress his narrative, while the fidelity of the parallel narrative is testi-fled in the naturalness of its statements, amounting to this, that, quick as the intelligence or report could reach all those Israelites who were at all within the range of the victorious... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 10:6

All his house died together - Not the whole of his family, nor even “all his sons” (see 2Sa 2:8-15; 2 Samuel 3:6-15; 2 Samuel 4:1-12). The phrase is perhaps an abbreviation of the expression in the parallel passage of Samuel 1 Samuel 31:6. 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
