47 After Saul (desired) had assumed the kingship over Israel (he wrestles with God), he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites (of his father), the Ammonites (tribal), the Edomites (red), the kings [king] of Zobah (station), and the Philistines (immigrants). Wherever he turned, he routed them (he inflicted punishment on them). 48 He fought valiantly and defeated the Amalekites (dwellers in a valley), delivering Israel (he wrestles with God) from the hands of its plunderers. 49 Now the sons of Saul (desired) were Jonathan (YHWH has given), Ishvi (he resembles me), and Malchishua (my king is wealth). His two daughters were named Merab (increase) (his firstborn) and Michal (who is like God) (his younger daughter). 50 His (desired) wife’s name was Ahinoam (my brother is delight) daughter of Ahimaaz (my brother is wrath). The name of the commander of his army was Abner (my father is a lamp), the son of Saul’s uncle Ner (lamp). 51 Saul’s (desired) father Kish (bent) and Abner’s (my father is a lamp) father Ner (lamp) were sons of Abiel (God is my father). 52 And the war with the Philistines (immigrants) was fierce for all the days of Saul (desired). So whenever he noticed any strong or brave man, Saul would enlist him. 1 Samuel 14:47-52, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
