Discovery Box1 Chronicles 10:3 
Context10:3 The battle was thick 1 around Saul; the archers spotted him and wounded him. 2
1 Chronicles 10:6
Context10:6 So Saul and his three sons died; his whole household 3 died together.
1 Chronicles 10:11
Context10:11 When all the residents of Jabesh Gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
1 tn Heb “heavy.”
2 tn Heb “and they found him, the ones who shoot with the bow, and he was in pain from the ones shooting.”
3 tn Heb “all his house.” This is probably to be understood as a general summary statement. It could include other males in Saul’s household besides his three sons, cf. 1 Sam 31:6. If it refers only to the male members of his household who would have stood in succession to the throne (cf. NLT, “bringing his dynasty to an end,”) even here there is an exception, since one of Saul’s sons, Eshbaal (or “Ishbosheth” in 2 Sam 2:8) was not killed in the battle and became king over Israel, which he ruled for two years (2 Sam 2:10) until he was assassinated by Rechab and Baanah (2 Sam 4:5-6). The tribe of Judah never acknowledged Ishbosheth as king; instead they followed David (2 Sam 2:10).
