Contextual Overview

47 When Saul became king over Israel, he fought against Israel's enemies all around. He fought Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the king of Zobah, and the Philistines. Everywhere Saul went he defeated Israel's enemies. 48 He fought bravely and defeated the Amalekites. He saved the Israelites from their enemies who had robbed them. 49 Saul's sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua. His older daughter was named Merab, and his younger daughter was named Michal. 50 Saul's wife was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of his army was Abner son of Ner, Saul's uncle. 51 Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel. 52 All Saul's life he fought hard against the Philistines. When he saw strong or brave men, he took them into his army.

Bible Verse Review

Jonathan: 1 Samuel 31:2, 1 Chronicles 8:33, 1 Chronicles 9:39

name of the firstborn: 1 Samuel 18:7-21, 1 Samuel 25:44, 2 Samuel 3:13-16, 2 Samuel 6:20-23

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 10:2 - Abinadab

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the sons of Saul were Jonathan,.... Who seems to be his firstborn, of whom, his valour and success, we read in this and the preceding chapter:

and Ishui; the same with Abinadab, 1 Chronicles 8:33 for he had two names:

and Melchishua; and besides these three there was another, whose name was Ishbosheth, sometimes called Eshbaal, 2 Samuel 2:8 who succeeded him in the kingdom; for which reason Abarbinel thinks he is not mentioned here, because he was a king; though it is generally supposed the reason why these only are named is, because they went out to war with him, and died with him, but this did not; he had other children by a concubine, or secondary wife, whose name was Rizpah, not mentioned here, 2 Samuel 21:8,

and the names of his two daughters were these, the name of the firstborn Merab; who was afterwards married to Adriel the Meholathite, 1 Samuel 18:19 and the name of the younger Michal; who became the wife of David, 1 Samuel 18:27.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 14:49. Now 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?
