英文原文
1Ch 10:1-7.
SAUL'S OVERTHROW AND DEATH.
1. Now the Philistines fought against Israel--The details of this chapter have no relation to the preceding genealogies and seem to be inserted solely to introduce the narrative of David's elevation to the throne of the whole kingdom. The parallel between the books of Samuel and Chronicles commences with this chapter, which relates the issue of the fatal battle of Gilboa almost in the very same words as
1Sa 31:1-13.

3. 戰勢轉而猛烈攻擊掃羅;弓箭手射中了他,他受了傷——希伯來文原詞可如此翻譯:「弓箭手發現(攻擊)了他,他便懼怕弓箭手。」當他決意自盡之時,他並沒有受傷,至少沒有受致命傷。此舉乃是出於突發的恐懼與精神上壓倒性的沮喪[CALMET]。
英文原文
3. the battle went sore against Saul; and the archers hit him, and he was wounded--The Hebrew words may be thus rendered: "The archers found (attacked) him, and he feared the archers." He was not wounded, at least not dangerously, when he resolved on committing suicide. The deed was the effect of sudden terror and overwhelming depression of spirits [CALMET].

4. 拿兵器的人不肯，因為他甚懼怕——他當然與掃羅處於同樣危險的境地。但約束他、使他不敢依從掃羅心願的，大概是出於對王權的深切敬畏，並且顧念這樣一場浩劫會對百姓的情感與利益造成何等的震動。
英文原文
4. his armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid--He was, of course, placed in the same perilous condition as Saul. But it is probable that the feelings that restrained him from complying with Saul's wish were a profound respect for royalty, mingled with apprehension of the shock which such a catastrophe would give to the national feelings and interests.

6. 掃羅和他的三個兒子，並他的全家都死了——即在那裏參戰的兒子和臣僕。但看來伊施波設和米非波設因年幼而被留在基比亞。
英文原文
6. Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house--his sons and courtiers who were there engaged in the battle. But it appears that Ish-bosheth and Mephibosheth were kept at Gibeah on account of their youth.

10. 將他的軍裝放在他們神的廟裏——異教徒當中有一個常見的習俗，就是向他們的國神或所敬奉的神明許願，若在戰爭中得勝，便將仇敵君王或某位傑出將領的軍裝獻給他，作為感恩的祭物。這樣的戰利品通常懸掛在廟宇的柱子上。
將他的首級釘在大袞廟中——而那無頭的軀幹則被釘在伯珊的城牆上
(1Sa 31:10)。
英文原文
10. put his armour in the house of their gods--It was common among the heathen to vow to a national or favorite deity, that, in the event of a victory, the armor of the enemy's king, or of some eminent leader, should be dedicated to him as an offering of gratitude. Such trophies were usually suspended on the pillars of the temple.
fastened his head in the temple of Dagon--while the trunk or headless corpse was affixed to the wall of Beth-shan
(1Sa 31:10).

13. 掃羅因為他干犯耶和華的死罪——因為他饒了亞瑪力王的命，並取了百姓的牛羊為掠物
[1Sa 15:9]，
又因為他求問交鬼的婦人
[1Sa 28:7]。
這兩項都是大罪——前者違背了神明確而積極的命令
[1Sa 15:3]，
後者則違反了國中一項眾所周知的律例
(Le 19:31)。
英文原文
13. Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord--in having spared the king of the Amalekites and taken the flocks of the people as spoils
[1Sa 15:9],
as well as in having consulted a pythoness
[1Sa 28:7].
Both of these acts were great sins--the first as a violation of God's express and positive command
[1Sa 15:3],
and the second as contrary to a well-known statute of the kingdom
(Le 19:31).

14. 沒有求問耶和華——他在形式上確實這樣作了
(1Sa 28:6)，
卻不是以謙卑悔改者的靈，也不是以真誠敬拜者的信心所作的。他的求問其實不過是虛應故事，他從神轉而求助於一個事奉魔鬼的可憐騙子
[1Sa 28:7]，
正顯明他完全沒有任何正確的宗教感受。
英文原文
14. And inquired not of the Lord--He had done so in form
(1Sa 28:6),
but not in the spirit of a humble penitent, nor with the believing confidence of a sincere worshipper. His enquiry was, in fact, a mere mockery, and his total want of all right religious impressions was manifested by his rushing from God to a wretched impostor in the service of the devil
[1Sa 28:7].
1Ch 10:1-7.
掃羅的傾覆與陣亡
1. 非利士人與以色列人爭戰——本章所述細節與前述家譜毫無關聯,似乎完全是為了引出大衛被高舉登全國王位之敘事而插入。撒母耳記與歷代志兩卷書的平行記載,正從本章開始,本章幾乎以與
1Sa 31:1-13
完全相同的字句,記述了基利波(Gilboa)那場致命戰役的結局。
