His death is a fulfillment of the prophecy given by Samuel in <a href="/1_samuel/28-19.htm">1 Samuel 28:19</a>, where it was foretold that Saul and his sons would die in battle. Saul's demise serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commands.<p><b>together with his three sons</b><br>The death of Saul's sons, including Jonathan, is significant as it represents the end of Saul's lineage and the potential continuation of his dynasty. Jonathan, in particular, was a close friend of David and a man of faith and integrity. Their deaths in battle against the Philistines highlight the severe consequences of Saul's failures as a leader and his inability to secure God's favor for his family.<p><b>and all his house</b><br>This phrase indicates the complete downfall of Saul's household, emphasizing the totality of the judgment against him. It reflects the biblical principle that the sins of a leader can have devastating effects on their family and followers. The destruction of Saul's house paves the way for David's rise to kingship, aligning with God's covenantal promise to establish David's line, which ultimately leads to the coming of Jesus Christ, the eternal King from the line of David.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/saul.htm">Saul</a></b><br>The first king of Israel, anointed by the prophet Samuel.

The LXX. adds "on that day" here, while in Samuel it omits "all his men," thus minimising the differences of text. It is mere pedantry to press the phrases "all his men," "all his house." The strength of these expressions indicates the completeness of the overthrow.<p>The chronicler was fully aware that some of Saul's house were not engaged in this battle (<a href="/1_chronicles/9-35.htm" title="And in Gibeon dwelled the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:">1Chronicles 9:35</a>). And in any case, the chief warriors of his household, and immediate followers, died with the king.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">All his house</span>. In place of these words, the parallel (<a href="/1_samuel/31-6.htm">1 Samuel 31:6</a>) has, "And his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together." This reading avoids the ambiguity referred to already (ver. 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So Saul</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁאוּל֙</span> <span class="translit">(šā·’ūl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7586.htm">Strong's 7586: </a> </span><span class="str2">Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">died</span><br /><span class="heb">מֵֽתוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(mê·ṯū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4191.htm">Strong's 4191: </a> </span><span class="str2">To die, to kill</span><br /><br /><span class="word">together</span><br /><span class="heb">יַחְדָּ֥ו</span> <span class="translit">(yaḥ·dāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3162.htm">Strong's 3162: </a> </span><span class="str2">A unit, unitedly</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with his three</span><br /><span class="heb">וּשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת</span> <span class="translit">(ū·šə·lō·šeṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Number - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7969.htm">Strong's 7969: </a> </span><span class="str2">Three, third, thrice</span><br /><br /><span class="word">sons</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּנָ֔יו</span> <span class="translit">(bā·nāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and all</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכָל־</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">his house.</span><br /><span class="heb">בֵּית֖וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(bê·ṯōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> </span><span class="str2">A house</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">1 Chronicles 10:6 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/1_chronicles/10-6.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 10:6 So Saul died and his three sons (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/10-5.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 10:5"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 10:5" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/10-7.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 10:7"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 10:7" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
