***[1 Chronicles 10:6](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/10/6)*****.*****All his house died together*****—** 1:e. All of his house or family who were with him that day. In 1Sa 31:6 it is *all his men.*

***[1 Chronicles 10:9](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/10/9)*****.*****To carry tidings unto their idols*****—** *That the tidings might be told in the temples of their idols.*Houbigant.

***[1 Chronicles 10:13](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/10/13)*****.*****To enquire of it*****—** See the note on [1 Samuel 31:1](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31/1). The two great offences of Saul, which are recapitulated in this verse, were, his sparing the Amalekites, and consulting the witch of Endor.

***[1 Chronicles 10:14](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/10/14)*****.*****And enquired not of the Lord*****—** This seems to contradict what is said [1 Samuel 28:6](../../../kjv/1-samuel/28/6). But the Jews and others reconcile the two passages by saying, that as he did not *persevere*to inquire of God, nor inquire at all with a truly religious and faithful spirit, but went to a witch, it was just the same as if he had not inquired at all. "He whose heart is perfect with God," says a learned Jew, "lifts up his eyes to him and fixes them on him, hoping in him, though he do not presently hear or grant his request; and perseveres in his hopes, setting a resolution to wait upon him. But so did not Saul, who was remiss and negligent, saying in the pride of his heart, If the Lord will not answer me, I will consult a familiar spirit." The Vulgate renders the words in this place, *and put not his trust in the Lord.*
**REFLECTIONS.—**1st, For the account of Saul's death, see [1 Samuel 31](../../../kjv/1-samuel/31). It was a just judgment on Saul; and, no doubt, his bloody house, following his ill example, deserved to fall with him. Thus a way was made for David to the crown, most of his competitors being removed. We pity Jonathan, that lovely name, fallen among the slain; but all is wise and good which God doth, though we are short-sighted, and see not always the reasons of his procedure.
2nd, The indignity offered to the bodies of Saul and his sons, and the bold attempt of the men of Jabesh-gilead, were before observed. *Note;*(1.) God will visit for sin, and the highest are not above his arm. (2.) They who abused their power when alive, deserve to be stigmatized when dead, as a warning to others. (3.) Ruin must be near, when men, like Saul, turn away from God, and abandon themselves to the devil.
