Cross References
The Key Word — וַיָּ֖מָת, vai.Ya.motgenerated
The verb מוּת (mūth) means 'to die' and is used frequently in the Hebrew Bible to denote the end of life. It can refer to natural death or death as a consequence of punishment. The parsing indicates it is in the Qal form, which is the simple active voice, and is rendered here in the sequential imperfect tense, showing that the action is part of a narrative sequence.
In this verse, it marks the end of Shaul's life, setting the stage for the next ruler. The choice of this verb emphasizes the finality of death and the transition it brings.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains two main clauses connected by the conjunction. The first clause is governed by the verb וַיָּ֖מָת, and he died, with the subject שָׁא֑וּל, Shaul, following it. The second clause features the verb וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ, and he reigned, which introduces Baal-hanan as the new ruler.
The structure emphasizes the sequence of events: the death of the previous king leads directly to the ascension of the next. This reflects a common narrative style in ancient texts, where the sequence of rulers is crucial for understanding historical continuity.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַיָּ֖מָת as ἀπέθανεν, which directly means 'he died'. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, maintaining the focus on the death event.
For וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ, the LXX uses ἐβασίλευσεν, meaning 'he reigned'. This reflects a straightforward rendering that captures the essence of the transition in leadership.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states: וַיָּ֖מָת שָׁא֑וּל וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ תַּחְתָּ֔יו בַּ֥עַל חָנָ֖ן בֶּן־ עַכְבּֽוֹר׃. The Septuagint matches six of the eight words, indicating a strong correspondence between the two texts, though the Septuagint's word order differs.
וַיָּ֖מָת שָׁא֑וּל וַיִּמְלֹ֣ךְ תַּחְתָּ֔יו בַּ֥עַל חָנָ֖ן בֶּן־ עַכְבּֽוֹר׃
6 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Baal is identified with Molech (Jer. 19:5).

See ASHTORETH, plural ASH’TAROTH. The plural, Baalim, signifies images or statues of Baal, Jud 2:11 10:10. Of the extent to which the worship of this idol was domesticated among the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, we have an evidence in the proper names of persons; as, among the former, Ethbaal, Jerubbaal; and among the latter, Hannibal, Asdrubal, etc. Among the Babylonians, the same idol was worshipped under the name of BEL, which is only another form of the word Baal,

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions.

That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
