Contextual Overview

1 The Philistines fought against Israel, and the Israelites ran away from them. Many Israelites were killed on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines fought hard against Saul and his sons, killing his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting was heavy around Saul. The archers shot him, and he was badly wounded. 4 He said to the officer who carried his armor, "Pull out your sword and kill me. Then those uncircumcised men won't make fun of me and kill me." But Saul's officer refused, because he was afraid. So Saul took his own sword and threw himself on it. 5 When the officer saw that Saul was dead, he threw himself on his own sword, and he died with Saul. 6 So Saul, his three sons, and the officer who carried his armor died together that day. 7 When the Israelites who lived across the Jezreel Valley and those who lived across the Jordan River saw how the Israelite army had run away, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they left their cities and ran away. Then the Philistines came and lived there.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now the Philistines fought against Israel,.... Being come to Jezreel where Israel pitched, 1 Samuel 29:1; they fell upon them, began the battle:

and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines; at the first onset, as it should seem:

and fell down slain in Mount Gilboa; which was near, and whither fleeing they were pursued and slain, at least great numbers of them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXI

A battle in Mount Gilboa between Israel and the Philistines; in

which the former are defeated, and Saul's three sons slain,

1, 2.

Saul, being mortally wounded, and afraid to fall alive into the

hands of the Philistines, desires his armour-bearer to despatch

him; which he refusing, Saul falls on his sword, and his

armour-bearer does the same, 3, 6.

The Israelites on the other side of the valley forsake their

cities, and the Philistines come and dwell in them, 7.

The Philistines, finding Saul and his three sons among the

slain, strip them of their armour, which they put in the house

of Ashtaroth, cut of their heads, send the news to all the

houses of their idols, and fasten the bodies of Saul and his

three sons to the walls of Beth-shan, 8-10.

Valiant men of Jabesh-gilead go by night, and take away the

bodies; burn them at Jabesh; bury their bones under a tree;

and fast seven days, 11-13.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXXI

Verse 1 Samuel 31:1. Now the Philistines fought — This is the continuation of the account given in 1 Samuel 29:1-11.

The men of Israel fled — It seems as if they were thrown into confusion at the first onset, and turned their backs upon their enemies.
