1 Chronicles 10:6

Compare all

4 Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.

6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.

7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

8 So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people.

1 Chronicles 10:6

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