Context — Saul’s Overthrow and Death
4Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died.
6So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house.
7When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities. 8The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 10:6
[See comments on 1 Samuel 31:6]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 10:6
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together. Saul died ... and all his house - his sons and courtiers who were here engaged in the battle.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 10:6
All his house, i.e. all his children, to wit, then present with him, namely, his three sons, as it is expressed, . For it is evident that Ish-bosheth and Mephibosheth were not slain. But nothing is more common in Scripture and all authors, than to understand all of a great and most considerable part.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 10:6
1 Chronicles 10:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.Ver. 6. And all his house died together.] His courtiers and evil counsellors, who had sinned with him, perished with him.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 10:6
(6) And all his house died together.—Instead of this Samuel reads “and his armour-bearer; also all his men on that day together.” The LXX. adds “on that day” here, while in Samuel it omits “all his men,” thus minimising the differences of text. It is mere pedantry to press the phrases “all his men,” “all his house.” The strength of these expressions indicates the completeness of the overthrow. The chronicler was fully aware that some of Saul’s house were not engaged in this battle (1 Chronicles 9:35). And in any case, the chief warriors of his household, and immediate followers, died with the king.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 10:6
Verse 6. So Saul died - and all his house] Every branch of his family that had followed him to the war was cut off; his three sons are mentioned as being the chief. No doubt all his officers were slain.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 10:6
6. all his house] In Samuel “his armourbearer and all his men.” The reference is rather to Saul’s servants than to his family.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 10:6
All his house died together - Not the whole of his family, nor even “all his sons” (see 2 Samuel 2:8-15; 2 Samuel 3:6-15; 2 Samuel 4:1-12).
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 10:6
6. All his house died together — Not every member of his family, for Ishbosheth, (2 Samuel 2:8,) and Ziba, and Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9:1-6) survived him; but all his men that accompanied him to the war.
