Notes

1 Samuel 14:49

sons of Saul were: Saul had another son named Abinadab (1 Samuel 31:2).
Ishvi: This is another name for Ish-bosheth (which means “man of shame”). He was also called Esh-baal (“man of Baal”). He briefly ruled as a rival king over the northern tribes during David’s early years (2 Samuel 2:8–11).

1 Samuel 14:49–51

This information about Saul’s family, placed here instead of at the end of his reign, suggests his reign was nearly over and none of his sons would succeed him.

1 Samuel 14:47–52

Unlike the foolishness mentioned in 1 Samuel 14:1–46, these verses highlight Saul's military victories. Each king's reign in 1 Samuel—2 Kings ends with a similar summary of achievements.

1 Samuel 14:1–52

Saul's actions in this chapter further support his removal as king (1 Samuel 13:8–14; see also 15). Saul was estranged from both Samuel and his brave son Jonathan. 1 Samuel 14 foreshadows Jonathan's important role in the shift from Saul's rule to David's.
