Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- The death of Saul.
--The design chiefly in view in these books of the Chronicles, appear to be to preserve the records of the house of David. Therefore the writer repeats not the history of Saul's reign, but only of his death by which a way was made for David to the throne. And from the ruin of Saul, we may learn, 1. That the sin of sinners will certainly find the out, sooner or later; Saul died for his transgression. 2. That no man' greatness can exempt him from the judgments of God. 3. Disobedience in a killing thing. Saul died for not keeping the word of the Lord. May be delivered from unbelief, impatience, and despair. By waiting on the Lord we shall obtain a kingdom that cannot be moved _________________________________________________
