the father of Gibeon
on 1 Chronicles 9:35-44
Saul's line repeats here nearly word for word from 8:29-38, and the repetition is deliberate: the Chronicler closes his genealogies by picking up the very family whose death opens the narrative history in chapter 10, Barnes reading the doubling as the seam joining the book's two halves together. The line runs generations past Jonathan through Merib-baal, called Mephibosheth in Samuel, and Micah down to Azel's six sons, keeping a defeated dynasty's descendants on record long after the kingdom passed to David's house. Saul receives here what Chronicles gives every line it names, a place kept in the record, before chapter 10 gives him the verdict Samuel had left unstated.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
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.
