47 So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of kAmmon, against Edom, against the kings of lZobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he 1harassed them. 48 And he gathered an army and mattacked 2the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of those who plundered them.
49 nThe sons of Saul were Jonathan, 3Jishui, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger oMichal. 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 puncle. 51 qKish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
52 Now there was fierce war with the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, rhe took him for himself.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
