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