on 1 Chronicles 9:35-44

Saul's line repeats here from 1 Chronicles 8:29 to 38. Barnes reads the doubling as the seam that joins the genealogies to the history, which opens with Saul's death in chapter 10. The line runs past Jonathan through Merib-baal, called Mephibosheth in Samuel, and Micah down to Azel's six sons.

Let that judgment never be forgotten, but ever be remembered, for warning to posterity to take heed of those sins that brought it upon them. Whenever we speak of any calamity that has befallen us, it is good to add this, "it was for my transgression," that God may be justified and clear when he judges.
