Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:8-14

Here, I. From the triumph of the Philistines over the body of Saul we may learn, 1. That the greater dignity men are advanced to the greater disgrace they are in danger of falling into. Saul's dead body, because he was king, was abused more than any other of the slain. Advancement makes men a mark for malice. 2. That, if we give not to God the glory of our successes, even the Philistines will rise up in judgment against us and condemn us; for, when they had obtained a victory over Saul, they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:13

So Saul died for his transgression ,.... See Gill on 1 Samuel 31:13 A violent and dishonourable death, which was suffered on account of the sins he was guilty of: one was, which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not ; both in not staying for Samuel the time appointed, and by sparing the Amalekites whom he was bid to destroy, 1 Samuel 13:13 . and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it ; what he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:14

And inquired not of the Lord ,.... For though he did inquire in some sense in an external, careless, and hypocritical manner, yet not done seriously, sincerely, and heartily, nor with constancy; it was accounted as if he inquired not at all, 1 Samuel 28:6 the Targum adds another reason of his death, because he killed the priests of Nob; but that is not in the text: therefore he slew him ; or suffered him to be slain: and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse ; translated... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 10:14

Inquired not of the Lord - On these two last verses the Targum speaks thus: "And Saul died for the transgression by which he transgressed against the Word of the Lord, and because he did not keep the commandment of the Lord when he warred against the house of Amalek; and because he consulted Pythons, and sought oracular answers from them. Neither did he ask counsel from before the Lord by Urim and Thummim, for he had slain the priests that were in Nob; therefore the Lord slew him,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:13

So Saul died for his transgression . (For this transgression and the stress laid upon it and its predicted consequences, see 1 Samuel 15:1-9 , 1 Samuel 15:11 , 1 Samuel 15:14 ; 1 Samuel 28:18 .) For asking… of… a familiar spirit ( 1 Samuel 28:7-24 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:13-14

So far as this work is concerned, Saul is introduced to us, and takes "for ever" his farewell of us, in this one and the same chapter. We know him, however, well elsewhere. On the background of a bright sky, we are at once prepared to say, his figure stands out, and ever will stand out, dark in appearance, of somewhat commanding proportions, with the bearing of no altogether ordinary man—a striking figure, indeed, but one that strikes fear and a chill feeling throughout one, rather than one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:14

And inquired not of the Lord . Saul seems to have, in point of fact, inquired in some sense ( 1 Samuel 14:37 ; 1 Samuel 28:5 , 1 Samuel 28:6 , 1 Samuel 28:15 ). But the probable meaning is that he did not inquire in the first instance (see 1 Chronicles 10:3 , 1 Chronicles 10:4 ); and when he did inquire, he did not await the reply solely and exclusively of Jehovah. Therefore he slew him (so see 1 Chronicles 2:3 ). David the son of Jesse . The compiler, having heretofore... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 10:13

For his transgression - Compare 1 Chronicles 9:1. The “transgression” intended is probably the disobedience with respect to Amalek, recorded in 1 Samuel 15:1-9 (compare 1 Samuel 28:17-18). read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 10:13

1 Chronicles 10:13. So Saul died for his transgression The sense is, wonder not that Saul fell by the hands of the Philistines, who were armed against him by his own sin, and by God’s vengeance for it. Against the word of the Lord Against God’s express, and plain, and positive command; which is a great aggravation of any sin. For asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit Which also was contrary to a manifest command, (Leviticus 19:31,) and moreover contrary to his own conscience,... read more
