Note that 931BC marks the division of the Kingdom into Southern Tribes (Judah and Benjamin) and Ten Northern Tribes. To avoid confusion be aware that after the division of the Kingdom in 931BC, the Southern Kingdom is most often designated in Scripture as "Judah" and the Northern Kingdom as "Israel." Finally, note that 1 Chronicles 1-9 is not identified on the timeline because these chapters are records of genealogy.

But he did not tell his father. BGT 1 Samuel 14:1 καὶ γίνεται ἡμέρα καὶ εἶπεν Ιωναθαν υἱὸς Σαουλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ αἴροντι τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ δεῦρο καὶ διαβῶμεν εἰς μεσσαβ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν ἐν τῷ πέραν ἐκείνῳ καὶ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν LXE 1 Samuel 14:1 And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.

Note how the writer contrasts the obedience of Jonathan in chapter 14 with the disobedience of his father Saul in chapters 13 and 15. It makes for a striking contrast in where their hearts were focused! One might summarize chapter 14 "Jonathan's Daring Raid, Saul's Foolish Order." Life Application Study Bible (borrow) makes a good point that "In this chapter we read about the miserable job Saul did as leader: he had no communication with Jonathan (1Sa 14:1, 17); he made a foolish curse (1Sa 14:24); and he ignored the well-being of his own soldiers (1Sa 14:31). Saul's poor leadership was not a result of personality traits but of decaying spiritual character. What we do is often a direct result of our spiritual condition. We cannot ignore the importance of spiritual character in effective leadership. Warren
