So Saul died
The phrase marks the culmination of Saul's tragic reign as the first king of Israel. The Hebrew root for "died" is "mûth," which signifies not just physical death but also a spiritual and covenantal severance. Saul's death is a direct consequence of his disobedience to God, as foretold by the prophet Samuel. This moment serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of divine commands and the inevitable judgment that follows unrepentant sin.

together with his three sons
The death of Saul's sons, including Jonathan, is a poignant moment that underscores the collective consequence of Saul's failures. Jonathan, despite his loyalty and righteousness, shares in his father's fate, illustrating the communal nature of sin and its repercussions. The Hebrew word for "together" is "yachad," emphasizing unity in both life and death. This tragic unity serves as a narrative device to highlight the end of Saul's dynasty and the transition to David's kingship.

and all his house
This phrase indicates the complete downfall of Saul's lineage and household. The term "house" (Hebrew: "bayith") often refers to one's family or dynasty. The destruction of Saul's house fulfills Samuel's prophecy and signifies the divine judgment against Saul's disobedience. Historically, this marks a pivotal shift in Israel's monarchy, paving the way for David's anointed leadership. It serves as a cautionary tale about the far-reaching impact of a leader's actions on their family and legacy.

(6) And all his house died together.--Instead of this Samuel reads "and his armour-bearer; also all his men on that day together." The LXX. adds "on that day" here, while in Samuel it omits "all his men," thus minimising the differences of text. It is mere pedantry to press the phrases "all his men," "all his house." The strength of these expressions indicates the completeness of the overthrow.

The chronicler was fully aware that some of Saul's house were not engaged in this battle (1Chronicles 9:35). And in any case, the chief warriors of his household, and immediate followers, died with the king.

Verse 6. - All his house. In place of these words, the parallel (1 Samuel 31:6) has, "And his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together." This reading avoids the ambiguity referred to already (ver. 2). In either passage the moral is plain, that the end and ruin of Saul's family as a whole had arrived, rather than literally that the whole, including every member, of that family had perished.
