47. Now when Saul had secured his grasp on Israel's throne, he fought against his enemies in every direction — against Moab, Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. And wherever he turned, he was victorious. 
48. He performed great deeds and conquered the Amalekites, saving Israel from all those who had plundered them.

49. Saul's sons included Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malkishua. He also had two daughters  Merab, who was older, and Michal.
50. Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul's army was Abner, the sone of Saul's uncle Ner.
51. Saul's father, Kish, and Abner's father, Ner, were both sons of Abiel.

52. The Israelites fought constantly with the Philistines throughout Saul's lifetime. So whenever Saul observed a young man who was brave and strong, he drafted him into his army.
