1 Chronicles 10

The present chapter contains two facts not found in 1Sa 31:1-13 - the fastening of Saul’s head in the temple of Dagon 1Ch 10:10, and the burial of his bones, and those of his sons, under an oak 1Ch 10:12. Otherwise the narrative differs from 1Sa 31:1-13 only by being abbreviated (see especially 1Ch 10:6-7, 1Ch 10:11-12), and by having some moral reflections attached to it 1Ch 10:13-14.

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.

For his transgression - Compare 1Ch 9:1. The “transgression” intended is probably the disobedience with respect to Amalek, recorded in 1Sa 15:1-9 (compare 1Sa 28:17-18).
