⁴⁷ So Sha’ul took over the rulership of Isra’el. He fought against all his enemies on every side — against Mo’av, the people of ‘Amon, Edom, the kings of Tzovah and the P’lishtim. No matter which way he turned, he defeated them. ⁴⁸ He demonstrated his strength by attacking ‘Amalek, and he saved Isra’el from the power of those who were plundering them.

⁴⁹ The sons of Sha’ul were Y’honatan, Yishvi and Malkishua, while the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the older, Merav, and of the younger, Mikhal.
