47 So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of ^aAmmon, against Edom, against the kings of ^bZobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.  ‡

49 ^aThe sons of Saul were Jonathan,¹ Jishui, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger ^bMichal.  ‡

50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s ^auncle.  ‡
