10:1–12:40 David’s Rise to Power over Israel. The Chronicler focuses on Israel’s unity under David, passing over most of the conflict with Saul and Ishbosheth that 2 Samuel describes.
1 Chron 10:1–12 Taken mainly from 1 Sam. 31:1–13. Saul’s reign ends in disaster for Israel at the hands of the Philistines (1 Chron. 10:7). His death, along with the deaths of three of his sons, marks the end of his royal house (v. 6). temple of Dagon (v. 10). Saul’s humiliation after his death contrasts with the triumph of the ark over Dagon in 1 Sam. 5:1–4.
1 Chron 10:4 Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. See note on 2 Sam. 1:6–10 for the claim that Saul did not commit suicide but rather was killed by an Amalekite.
1 Chron 10:11–12 Saul had saved Jabesh-gilead earlier (1 Samuel 11). This explains why the city gave a proper burial to Saul and his sons. David later reburied their bones (2 Sam. 21:14).
1 Chron 10:13–14 his breach of faith (compare 2:7; 5:25; 9:1). Saul failed to keep the command of the Lord (see 1 Sam. 13:13). He consulted the medium of En-dor (1 Samuel 28) but did not seek the Lord. His sin caused his death. turned the kingdom over to David. This is the main point of the chapter.
