Context of 1 Chronicles 10:8

6So Saul died with his three sons and all those of his house died together. 7When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the army had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them. It came about the next day, when the Philistines came to strip (plunder) the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9So they stripped Saul and took his head and his armor and sent messengers around the land of the Philistines to bring the good news to their idols and to the people. 10They put Saul’s armor in the house of their gods and nailed up his head in the house (temple) of Dagon.

Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 10:8

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6-12Saul died together with his three sons and all his house: The Chronicler does not mention Saul’s armor bearer or the rest of his troops (see 1 Samuel 31:6). This emphasizes God's role in removing Saul and replacing him with David (1 Chronicles 10:14).Read the comment
