THE MESSAGE
The Philistines went to war against Israel; the Israelites ran for their lives from the Philistines but fell, slaughtered on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines zeroed in on Saul and his sons and killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua. The battle went hard against Saul—the archers found him and wounded him. Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and finish me off before these pagan pigs get to me and make a sport of my body." But his armor bearer, restrained by both reverence and fear, wouldn't do it. So Saul took his own sword and killed himself. The armor bearer, panicked because Saul was dead, then killed himself.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

Contextual Overview

1 The Philistines fought against Israel in a battle at Mount Gilboa. Israel's soldiers ran from the Philistines, and many of them were killed. 2 The Philistines closed in on Saul and his sons and killed three of them: Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. 3 The fighting was fierce around Saul, and he was badly wounded by enemy arrows. 4 Saul told the soldier who carried his weapons, "Kill me with your sword! I don't want those godless Philistines to torture and make fun of me." But the soldier was afraid to kill him. Then Saul stuck himself in the stomach with his own sword and fell on the blade. 5 When the soldier realized that Saul was dead, he killed himself in the same way. 6 Saul, three of his sons, and all his male relatives were dead. 7 The Israelites who lived in Jezreel Valley learned that their army had run away and that Saul and his sons were dead. They ran away too, and the Philistines moved into the towns the Israelites left behind.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER X

A fatal battle between the Israelites and Philistines in

Gilboa, in which Saul is mortally wounded, and has three sons

slain, 1-6.

The Israelites being totally routed, the Philistines, coming to

strip the dead, find Saul and has three sons among the slain;

they cut off Saul's head, and send it and his armour about the

country to the idol temples; and then fix them up in the house

of Dagon, 7-10.

The men of Jabesh-gilead come by night, and take away the

bodies of Saul and has three sons, and bury them in Jabesh,

11, 12.

The reason of Saul's tragical death; the kingdom is transferred

to David, 13, 14.

NOTES ON CHAP. X

Verse 1 Chronicles 10:1. Now 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.
