Summary of Saul’s Kingship

47 When Saul assumed the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies in every direction: against Moab, the Ammonites,(A) Edom, the kings of Zobah,(B) and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he caused havoc.[a] 48 He fought bravely, defeated the Amalekites,(C) and rescued Israel from those who plundered them.
