The next day
This phrase indicates the passage of time following the battle between the Israelites and the Philistines. In the Hebrew context, the day after a battle was often a time for assessing the aftermath. The Philistines, having achieved victory, would naturally return to the battlefield to claim spoils. This reflects the ancient practice of stripping the dead, which was common in warfare of the time, as victors would take armor, weapons, and valuables from the fallen.

when the Philistines came
The Philistines were a significant adversary of Israel throughout the Old Testament. Their presence in this narrative underscores the ongoing conflict between the Israelites and their neighbors. Historically, the Philistines were a seafaring people who settled in the coastal regions of Canaan. Their military prowess and advanced weaponry often posed a formidable challenge to Israel.

to strip the dead
This action was a customary practice in ancient warfare, where the victors would strip the bodies of the fallen enemies of their armor and valuables. It was both a practical and symbolic act, signifying the complete defeat of the enemy. In the biblical narrative, this act also serves to highlight the humiliation and defeat of Saul, Israel's first king, and his sons.

they found Saul and his sons
The discovery of Saul and his sons among the dead is a poignant moment in the narrative. Saul, who was anointed as the first king of Israel, had a tumultuous reign marked by disobedience to God and conflict with David. The death of Saul and his sons signifies the end of his dynasty and the divine judgment upon his kingship. It also sets the stage for David's rise to power, as ordained by God.

fallen on Mount Gilboa
Mount Gilboa is a significant geographical location in the biblical narrative. It is the site of Saul's final battle and his tragic end. The mention of Mount Gilboa serves as a reminder of the consequences of Saul's disobedience to God. In a broader theological context, it underscores the theme of divine justice and the fulfillment of God's will, as Saul's downfall was prophesied due to his failure to follow God's commands.

(8) His sons.--Samuel, "his three sons." Otherwise the two verses are word for word the same.

Verse 8. - And his sons. The parallel (1 Samuel 31:8) says explicitly, "And his three sons."
