1. Jonathan goes and miraculously smites the Philistine's garrison
15. A divine terror makes them beat themselves
17. Saul, not staying the priest's answer, sets on them
21. The captivated Hebrews, and the hidden Israelites, join against them.

(51) The son of Abiel.--For "son" the commentators mostly agree we must read sons. Kish and Ner, we know, were both sons of Abiel. (See 1Chronicles 9:35-36, where, however, the father's name is given as Jehiel.)

Verse 51. - The son of Abiel. There can be little doubt that the right reading is sons, and not son. We thus get an intelligible statement - "And Kish the father of Saul and Ner the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel."
