"So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day." v.6
Read chapter 31
It's interesting to compare the two different records of Saul's death between 1 Samuel and 1 Chronicles. One seems to be historical in view of what man sees and records and the other in view of what God sees and records what is most important. Saul didn't die just because he was shot by an arrow but because he was unfaithful to the Lord, didn't keep His word and consulted a medium.
1 Chronicles 10:13-14:"Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance, 14 and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse."
Think of a time when to the outsiders eyes the see one thing but what God could see differently through the heart and mind?
