47 and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fighteth round about against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the Bene-Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and whithersoever he turneth he doth vex 'them'. 48 And he maketh a force, and smiteth Amalek, and delivereth Israel out of the hand of its spoiler. 49 And the sons of Saul are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as to the name of his two daughters, the name of the first-born 'is' Merab, and the name of the younger Michal; 50 and the name of the wife of Saul 'is' Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host 'is' Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul; 51 and Kish 'is' father of Saul, and Ner father of Abner 'is' son of Ahiel. 52 And the war is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul hath seen any mighty man, and any son of valour, then he doth gather him unto himself.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 14:47-52
(Read 1 Samuel 14:47-52)
Here is a general account of Saul's court and camp. He had little reason to be proud of his royal dignity, nor had any of his neighbours cause to envy him, for he had but little enjoyment after he took the kingdom. And often men's earthly glory makes a blaze just before the dark night of disgrace and woe comes on them.
