Summary answer
In the biblical narrative, Saul’s wife is named Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. She is mentioned as Saul’s wife in 1 Samuel 14:50, and she is the mother of some of Saul’s sons (and possibly the mother of Michal in some traditions) depending on how genealogies are read. The text does not report any specific story of something that happened to her beyond her being Saul’s wife and the familial connections that follow from that marriage. Details and context

• Saul’s wife: Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. This is stated explicitly in 1 Samuel 14:50, which identifies her as Saul’s wife and gives Ahinoam’s lineage. The verse also names Abner as the commander of Saul’s host and identifies him as the son of Ner. This places Ahinoam within the broader royal family context of Saul’s reign [1 Samuel 14:50].
• Children and family connections: The primary biblical list of Saul’s sons (Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchi-shua) and Saul’s daughters (Merab and Michal) appears in 1 Samuel 14:49. Some traditions and later discussions connect Michal as a daughter of Saul who becomes David’s wife, though the direct parentage of Michal in the text is not always spelled out in every genealogy. Ahinoam’s role as the mother of specific children is not explicitly itemized in every verse, but the broader family relationships establish her as Saul’s wife within the royal line [1 Samuel 14:49; 1 Samuel 14:50].
• Later biblical notes: The Bible distinguishes between Ahinoam the wife of Saul and Ahinoam the Jezreelite (David’s wife from Giloh). Some cross-references in later traditions and scholarly discussions note the potential for two different Ahinoams, which helps avoid confusion when tracing David and Saul’s marriages. The text itself, however, clearly identifies Saul’s wife as Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz, in the passage about Saul’s household and military leadership [1 Samuel 14:50; related discussions in scholarly and popular summaries] [1 Samuel 14:50].

Key verses to consult

• 1 Samuel 14:50: “And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz.” This establishes the identifying details of Saul’s wife. The surrounding verses also name Abner as the commander, anchoring the verse in the military narrative of Saul’s monarchy [1 Samuel 14:50].
• 1 Samuel 14:49–49:53 (context for Saul’s family and Aaronic-like naming patterns) can help situate Ahinoam within the broader royal family, though the exact list of children in this passage is the primary anchor for Saul’s offspring and their relationships to the queen [1 Samuel 14:49].

Common points of confusion

• Distinct Ahinoams: Some readers encounter discussions about Ahinoam the wife of Saul and Ahinoam the Jezreelite (David’s wife). They are generally treated as two different women in order to reconcile the genealogies and marriage connections in Samuel and Kings. The biblical text identifies Saul’s wife explicitly as Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz, in 1 Samuel 14:50 [1 Samuel 14:50].

If you want, I can pull together a concise timeline of Saul’s immediate family relationships and map where Ahinoam appears in those passages to help visualize how she fits into the broader royal narrative.
