1 Samuel 14:49

1 Samuel 14:49 -

Saul's family and kindred. Three sons only of Saul are here mentioned, apparently those slain at the battle of Mount Gilboa, where, however, Ishui is named Abinadab ( 1 Samuel 31:2 , as also in 1 Chronicles 8:33 ; 1 Chronicles 9:39 ). A fourth son, Esh-baal, subsequently called Ishbosheth, is omitted. The daughters, Merab and Michal, are mentioned because of the history in 1 Samuel 18:17-21 .
