Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 10:6
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
6. all his house ] In Samuel “his armourbearer and all his men.” The reference is rather to Saul’s servants than to his family.

All his house died together – Not the whole of his family, nor even all his sons (see 2Sa 2:8-15; 2Sa 3:6-15; 2Sa 4:1-12). The phrase is perhaps an abbreviation of the expression in the parallel passage of Samuel 1Sa 31:6.

Verse 6. So Saul died – and all his house] Every branch of his family that had followed him to the war was cut off; his three sons are mentioned as being the chief. No doubt all his officers were slain.

All his house, i.e. all his children, to wit, then present with him, namely,
his three sons, as it is expressed, 1Sa 31:6. For it is evident that Ish-bosheth and Mephibosheth were not slain. But nothing is more common in Scripture and all authors, than to understand all of a great and most considerable part.

(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 Sauls house were not engaged in this battle (1Ch. 9:35). And in any case, the chief warriors of his household, and immediate followers, died with the king.

6. All his house died together Not every member of his family, for Ishbosheth, (2Sa 2:8,) and Ziba, and Mephibosheth (2Sa 9:1-6) survived him; but all his men that accompanied him to the war.

Saul: 1Sa 4:10, 1Sa 4:11, 1Sa 4:18, 1Sa 12:25, Ecc 9:1, Ecc 9:2, Hos 13:10, Hos 13:11
all his house: “All his men,” in Samuel; that is, all who were present with him in the battle; and his family received such a blow, that it never recovered itself again. For though Ishbosheth reigned over a part of the country, yet it was not in any splendour. This history seems to be repeated here as an introduction to that of the kingdom of David.
