This site's exposition
all his house died together
on 1 Chronicles 10:6-7
Chronicles replaces Samuel's list of the armourbearer and all his men with one sweeping line: Saul and his three sons and all his house died together. Yet Eshbaal, Saul's fourth son named at 1 Chronicles 8:33 and 9:39, reigns two years over Israel after this battle in 2 Samuel 2, and Jonathan's son Mephibosheth survives him too. The commentators read all his house as the royal house that fell in the field that day, or as the claim on the throne rather than every living relative, and the two texts are left standing rather than forced into one sentence.

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