TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:4 What happened? David was not aware of what had happened to Saul—he had no part in Saul’s death. 
• Saul and . . . Jonathan are also dead: Two other sons of Saul, Abinadab and Malkishua, were killed as well (1 Sam 31:2). The Amalekite was either unaware of their deaths or he mentioned only the son who would stand in the way of David’s uncontested path to Israel’s throne.
