Saul's household and army

49Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn was Merab, and the name of the younger was Michal.

50The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz, and the name of the commander of his army was Abner son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

51Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner was the father of Abner, the son of Abiel.

52And the war against the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul. Whenever Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he gathered him to himself.
