Of Zerah , the family of the Zarhites: of Shaul , the family of the Shaulites.

The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah , and Shaul :

Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son.

And when Samlah was dead, Shaul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.

And when Shaul was dead, Baal –hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.

And the sons of Simeon ; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.

And the sons of Simeon ; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon .

And he had a son, whose name was Saul , a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.

And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah , unto the land of Shual :

When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag , who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:

And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur , that is over against Egypt .

so he warned him. “Be careful! Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. In the morning go into the field and hide. I will go out into the field with my father. We will stand in the field where you are hiding. I will talk to my father about you, and I will tell you what I learn.”

And the people said unto Samuel , Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel : and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.

And the name of Saul 's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz : and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner , Saul 's uncle.

And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal ; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan , and Ishui, and Malchi–shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth–shan, and came to Jabesh , and burnt them there.

Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul , and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul 's hand.

Of the sons of Gershom , Shebuel was the chief.

So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
