Exegesis
The construct chain bənê Šāʾûl {בְּנֵי שָׁאוּל} ‘sons of Saul’ attaches the subsequent proper names as his male offspring. The coordinated list Yōnāṯān, Yišwî, ū-malkî-šûaʿ reflects Hebrew paratactic enumeration.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:49
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua, and the names of his two daughters were Merab the firstborn and Michal the younger.
