Context of 1 Samuel 14:50
48He fought valiantly and defeated the Amalekites, delivering Israel from the hands of its plunderers. 49Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. His two daughters were named Merab (his firstborn) and Michal (his younger daughter). His wife’s name was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Saul’s uncle Ner. 51Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were sons of Abiel. 52And the war with the Philistines was fierce for all the days of Saul. So whenever he noticed any strong or brave man, Saul would enlist him.

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 14:50
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 50The only other “Ahimaaz” mentioned in Scripture was the son of Zadok the priest. The word “Ahi” (brother) is frequently found in composition in names in the High Priest‘s family, e. g. in Ahijah, Ahimelech.

- 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. 50Ahinoam is only mentioned in Saul's story here. In 1 Samuel 25:43, David marries a woman named Ahinoam. These might be the same person, but it is unclear (see 2 Samuel 12:8).Read the comment
