Once again... the commentaries don't offer much on this list.
I found this at the easy English site.
The rest of the chapter is about the family of Saul, who was Israel’s first king. He was the son of Kish. Jonathan’s son was Merib-Baal. Merib-Baal was another name for Mephibosheth. This list shows the family of Saul until about the time of the exile in Babylon.
The purpose of this list is to mention the story of Saul briefly, in order to introduce David. David’s rule as king is the main subject for the rest of 1 Chronicles.

We made it through the documents.... the birth and death records... the work schedules... the job descriptions.... and we've set Saul on the throne.... David is playing music to soothe Saul's agitations.... and the next posting will be about Saul....
