**the Philistines fought.** Compare [1 Samuel 31:1-6](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31/1-6) and [2 Samuel 1:9](../../../kjv/2-samuel/1/9) , [2 Samuel 1:10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/1/10) .

**Abinadab.** Another name was Ishui ([1 Samuel 14:49](../../../kjv/1-samuel/14/49) ).

**abuse** = insult, or mock.

**So Saul died.** Here, the event. In [1 Chronicles 10:13](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/10/13) , the reason. See the Structure above.
**his three sons** = three of his sons.
**all.** Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of the Whole), App-6 , put for greater part. See [2 Samuel 2:8](../../../kjv/2-samuel/2/8) ; [2 Samuel 21:8](../../../kjv/2-samuel/21/8) .
**house.** Put by Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Subject), for family or household.

**took his head.** Figure of speech *Ellipsis* , "head [which they had cut off] and his, &c".

**gods.** Ashtaroth. Compare [1 Samuel 31:10](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31/10) .
**his head.** This is additional to [1 Samuel 31:10](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31/10) . "His body", there, is additional to this passage. The two books thus independent and complementary.

**buried their bones.** After they had burnt them ([1 Samuel 31:12](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31/12) ).
**the oak.** Compare [1 Samuel 31:13](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31/13) .

**for.** In this book the reason; in 1 Samuel only the event. See App-56 .
**transgression** = disobedience, shown in his faithlessness or defection. Hebrew. *ma'al.* App-44 . Compare [1 Samuel 13:13](../../../kjv/1-samuel/13/13) , [1 Samuel 13:14](../../../kjv/1-samuel/13/14) ; [1 Samuel 15:1-9](../../../kjv/1-samuel/15/1-9) ; [1 Samuel 28:7](../../../kjv/1-samuel/28/7) .
**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . Note it is not Elohim (God).
**familiar spirit.** See note on [Leviticus 19:31](../../../kjv/leviticus/19/31) .
**to enquire** = to seek and consult. Hebrew. *darash,* to seek earnestly. Saul sought thus with the medium, but not with Jehovah.

**He:** i.e. Jehovah. 1 Chronicles gives the esoteric cause. 1 Samuel gives the exoteric event, which men could see. See App-56 .
