1 Samuel 14:47-52

47After SaulH7586 had assumedH3920 the kingshipH4410 overH5921 IsraelH3478, he foughtH3898 against allH3605 his enemiesH341 on every sideH5439—the MoabitesH4124, the AmmonitesH1121H5983, the EdomitesH123, the kingsH44281 of ZobahH6678, and the PhilistinesH6430. WhereverH3605 he turnedH6437, he routed themH7561.2 48He foughtH6213 valiantlyH2428 and defeatedH5221 the AmalekitesH6002, deliveringH5337 IsraelH3478 from the handsH3027 of its plunderersH8154.

49Now the sonsH1121 of SaulH7586 wereH1961 JonathanH3129, IshviH3440, and MalchishuaH4444. His twoH8147 daughtersH1323 were namedH8034 MerabH4764 (his firstbornH1067H8034) and MichalH4324 (his younger daughterH6996). 50HisH7586 wife’sH802 nameH8034 was AhinoamH293 daughterH1323 of AhimaazH290. The nameH8034 of the commanderH8269 of his armyH6635 was AbnerH74, the sonH1121 of Saul’sH7586 uncleH1730 NerH5369. 51Saul’sH7586 fatherH1 KishH7027 and Abner’sH74 fatherH1 NerH5369 were sonsH1121 of AbielH22.

52And the warH4421 withH5921 the PhilistinesH6430 wasH1961 fierceH2389 for allH3605 the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. So wheneverH7586 he noticedH7200 anyH3605H376 strongH1368H3605 or braveH2428H413 manH1121, Saul would enlist himH622.
