Context of 1 Samuel 14:49
47Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he put them to the worse. 48And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that despoiled them. Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: 50and the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his host was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle. 51And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 14:49
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 49Now the sons of Saul - We do not find Ishbosheth here. Calmet says it was "because he was too young, and did not go with him to the war, for he mentions only those who were with him." Why then mention his daughters and his wife? Did they go with him to the war?Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 49This enumeration of Saul‘s children and chief officers is according to the analogy of the subsequent annals of David and Solomen‘s reign. But the one here called Ishui, is elsewhere (marginal references) called Abi-nadab; and a fourth son, Esh-baal or Ish-bosheth, is here omitted.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 47-52Verses 47-52 Here is a general account of Saul's court and camp. He had little reason to be proud of his royal dignity, nor had any of his neighbours cause to envy him, for he had but little enjoyment after he took the kingdom. And often men's earthly glory makes a blaze just before the dark night of disgrace and woe comes on them.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 49sons of Saul were: Saul had another son named Abinadab (1 Samuel 31:2). Ishvi: This is another name for Ish-bosheth (which means “man of shame”). He was also called Esh-baal (“man of Baal”). He briefly ruled as a rival king over the northern tribes during David’s early years (2 Samuel 2:8–11).Read the comment
