Discovery Box1 Samuel 14:49-50 
ContextMembers of Saul’s Family
14:49 The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua. 1 He had two daughters; the older one was named Merab and the younger Michal. 14:50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the general in command of his army was Abner son of Ner, Saul’s uncle. 2
1 sn The list differs from others. In 1 Sam 31:2 (= 1 Chr 10:2), Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua are listed as Saul’s sons, while 1 Chr 8:33 and 9:39 list Jonathan, Malki-Shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
2 sn The word “uncle” can modify either Abner or Ner. See the note on the word “son” in v. 51 for further discussion.
