Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 10:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Now the Philistines fought against Israel - The reader will find the same history in almost the same words, in 1 Samuel 31:1-13, to the notes on which he is referred for every thing important in this.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1The present chapter contains two facts not found in 1 Samuel 31:1-13 - the fastening of Saul‘s head in the temple of Dagon 1 Chronicles 10:10, and the burial of his bones, and those of his sons, under an oak 1 Chronicles 10:12. Otherwise the narrative differs from 1 Samuel 31:1-13 only by being abbreviated (see especially 1 Chronicles 10:6-7, 1 Chronicles 10:11-12), and by having some moral reflections attached to it 1 Chronicles 10:13-14.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The death of Saul. --The design chiefly in view in these books of the Chronicles, appears to be to preserve the records of the house of David.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-71Ch 10:1-7. Saul's Overthrow and Death. 1. Now the Philistines fought against Israel--The details of this chapter have no relation to the preceding genealogies and seem to be inserted solely to introduce the narrative of David's elevation to the throne of the whole kingdom. The parallel between the books of Samuel and Chronicles commences with this chapter, which relates the issue of the fatal battle of Gilboa almost in the very same words as 1Sa 31:1-13.Read the comment
