The family of King Saul. - This register has already occurred in Ch1 8:29-38, along with those of other families of the tribe of Benjamin, and is repeated here only to connect the following history of the kingship with the preceding genealogical lists. It forms here the introduction to the narrative of Saul's death in Ch1 10:1-14, which in turn forms the transition to the kingship of David. The deviations of this register from that in Ch1 8:29-38, show that it has been derived from another document in more complete preservation than that in 1 Chron 8, which had been handed down in connection with other genealogies of the Benjamite families, and had suffered considerably in its text. See the commentary on Ch1 8:29-38. Next: 1 Chronicles Chapter 10
