Da Saul hadde tatt kongedømmet over Israel, førte han krig mot alle sine fiender rundt omkring: mot Moab og mot Ammons barn og mot Edom og mot kongene i Soba og mot filistrene, og overalt hvor han vendte sig hen, seiret han.
So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.
