1 Samuel 14:47-52
New American Standard Bible 1995
Constant Warfare
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, (A)the sons of Ammon, Edom, (B)the kings of Zobah, and (C)the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he [a]inflicted punishment. 48 He acted valiantly and [b](D)defeated the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of [c]those who plundered them.
49 Now (E)the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn (F)Merab and the name of the younger (G)Michal. 50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And (H)the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle. 51 (I)Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
52 Now the war against the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he [d](J)attached him to [e]his staff.
