In the theory of hypergeometric functions of one or several variables, a remarkable amount of mathematicians's concern has been given to develop their transformation formulas and summation identities. Here we aim at presenting explicit expressions (in a single form) of the following weighted Appell's function $F_1$: $$(1+2x)^{-a}(1+2z)^{-b}F_1\;\(c,\;a,\;b;\;2c+j;\;\frac{4x}{1+2x},\;\frac{4z}{1+2z}\)\;(j=0,\;{\pm}1,\;{\ldots},\;{\pm}5)$$ in terms of Exton's triple hypergeometric $X_9$. The results are derived with the help of generalizations of Kummer's second theorem very recently provided by Kim et al. A large number of very interesting special cases including Exton's result are also given.
