Quick answer
Repeats that Mikloth fathered Shimeam and that they lived near their kin in Jerusalem. It ties Saul's clan once more to the holy city.
Overview
Mikloth becomes the father of Shimeam, and the family is again located among their relatives in Jerusalem. The Chronicler's repetition links Saul's house to the city of God's chosen king, David. This subtle juxtaposition prepares the reader to weigh Saul's failed kingship against the enduring promise given to David's line and fulfilled in Christ.
