1 Crônicas 10:1-12 NVT

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

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

So Saul died - and all his house - Every branch of his family that had followed him to the war was cut off; his three sons are mentioned as being the chief. No doubt all his officers were slain. read more

When all Jabesh-gilead heard - For a general account of the principles of heroism and gratitude from which this action of the men of Jabesh-gilead proceeded, see the note on 1 Samuel 31:11 , 1 Samuel 31:12 . By the kindness of a literary friend, I am enabled to lay a farther illustration of this noble act before the reader, which he will find at the conclusion of the chapter. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:1

EXPOSITION It is evident that the compiler of the Chronicles intended its history proper to begin substantially with the reign of David. Strictly, however, it opens with the last mournful chapter of the career of Saul and his sons, or of three out of the four ( 1 Chronicles 9:39 ) of them. The mention of Saul had been prepared for by the short preamble of his pedigree and family; and, in like manner, the way is paved for the introduction of the reign add deeds of David by the brief... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:2

Followed hard after . The Hebrew verb implies all this and rather more, viz. that they made the pursuit of Saul and his sons their one special object. Luther's "Hingen sich au Saul" expresses this forcibly. Abinadab ; or Ishui (see 1 Chronicles 8:33 ; 1 Samuel 14:49 ). The sons of Saul . Omit the article, which is not present in the Hebrew text. The fourth son, not withstanding our 1 Chronicles 10:6 , survived ( 2 Samuel 2:8-15 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 10:3

The archers hit him . The literal translation would be, the shooters , men with the bow , found him. The context makes it plain that the meaning is that the arrows of the pursuers rather than the pursuers themselves "found" him, and these made him argue all the rest. To this our Authorized Version has jumped by the one word "hit" him. It is evident from 1 Chronicles 10:8 that the Philistines did not find the body of Saul to recognize it till next day. And he was wounded of the... 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
