1 Samuel 14:49 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:49

And the sons of Saul were Jonathan
Who seems to be his firstborn, of whom, his valour and success, we read in this and the preceding chapter:

and Ishui;
the same with Abinadab, ( 1 Chronicles 8:33 ) ( 9:39 ) for he had two names:

and Melchishua;
and besides these three there was another, whose name was Ishbosheth, sometimes called Eshbaal, ( 2 Samuel 2:8 ) ( 1 Chronicles 8:33 ) who succeeded him in the kingdom; for which reason Abarbinel thinks he is not mentioned here, because he was a king; though it is generally supposed the reason why these only are named is, because they went out to war with him, and died with him, but this did not; he had other children by a concubine, or secondary wife, whose name was Rizpah, not mentioned here, ( 2 Samuel 21:8 ) ,

and the names of his two daughters were these, the name of the
firstborn Merab;
who was afterwards married to Adriel the Meholathite, ( 1 Samuel 18:19 ) and the name of the younger Michal; who became the wife of David, ( 1 Samuel 18:27 ) .

1 Samuel 14:49 In-Context

47 Und Saul nahm das Königtum ein über Israel; und er stritt ringsum wider alle seine Feinde, wider Moab und wider die Kinder Ammon und wider Edom und wider die Könige von Zoba und wider die Philister; und überall, wohin er sich wandte, übte er Strafe.

48 Und er tat Mächtiges und schlug Amalek, und errettete Israel aus der Hand seines Plünderers.

49 Und die Söhne Sauls waren: Jonathan und Jischwi und Malkischua. Und die Namen seiner zwei Töchter: der Name der erstgeborenen war Merab, und der Name der jüngeren Michal.

50 Und der Name des Weibes Sauls war Achinoam, die Tochter Achimaaz'. Und der Name seines Heerobersten war Abner, der Sohn Ners, des Oheims Sauls;

51 denn Kis, der Vater Sauls, und Ner, der Vater Abners, waren Söhne Abiels.
