1 Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “ Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.Now it fell upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on yonder side. But he told not his father.어느 날 사울의 아들 요나단이 자기 무기를 들고 다니는 젊은이에게 말했다. "자, 건너편에 있는 블레셋 사람들의 진지로 넘어가자." 그러나 그는 자기 아버지에게는 이 일을 알리지 않았다.
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;사울은 기브아 변두리 미그론에 있는 석류나무 아래에 머물러 있었고, 그와 함께 있는 백성은 육백 명쯤 되었다.
3 including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.그리고 아히야가 에봇을 입고 있었는데, 그는 아히둡의 아들이요 이가봇의 형제이며, 비느하스의 손자요 엘리의 증손이니, 엘리는 실로에서 여호와의 제사장이었다. 백성은 요나단이 떠난 줄을 알지 못했다.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.요나단이 블레셋 사람들의 진지로 넘어가려고 한 길목 사이에는 한쪽에 바위 벼랑이 있고 다른 쪽에도 바위 벼랑이 있었는데, 하나의 이름은 보세스요 다른 하나의 이름은 세네였다.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.한 벼랑은 북쪽으로 믹마스 앞에 솟아 있었고, 다른 벼랑은 남쪽으로 게바 앞에 솟아 있었다.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “ Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.요나단이 자기 무기를 든 젊은이에게 말했다. "자, 저 할례받지 않은 자들의 진지로 넘어가자. 여호와께서 우리를 위해 일하실지도 모른다. 여호와께서 구원하시는 데는 사람이 많고 적음이 아무런 제약이 되지 않는다."
7 His armor bearer said to him, “ Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”And his armorbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.무기를 든 자가 그에게 말했다. "당신의 마음에 있는 대로 다 하십시오. 자, 돌이키십시오. 보십시오, 내가 당신의 마음과 함께 당신과 같이 있습니다."
8 Then Jonathan said, “ Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto the men, and we will disclose ourselves unto them.그러자 요나단이 말했다. "보라, 우리가 저 사람들에게 넘어가서 우리 자신을 그들에게 드러내자.
9 If they say this to us, ‘ Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.만일 그들이 우리에게 '우리가 너희에게 갈 때까지 거기 서 있으라!' 하고 말하면, 우리는 우리 자리에 가만히 서서 그들에게로 올라가지 말자.
10 But if they say this, ‘ Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up; for Jehovah hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign unto us.그러나 만일 그들이 '우리에게로 올라오라!' 하고 말하면, 우리는 올라가자. 이는 여호와께서 그들을 우리 손에 넘겨주셨다는 뜻이니, 이것이 우리에게 그 표징이 될 것이다."
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “ Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”And both of them disclosed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.두 사람이 자기들을 블레셋 사람들의 진지에 드러내니, 블레셋 사람들이 말했다. "보라, 히브리 사람들이 숨었던 굴에서 나오는구나!"
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “ Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “ Come up after me, for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armorbearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.진지의 사람들이 요나단과 그의 무기 든 자에게 대답하여 말했다. "우리에게로 올라오라. 우리가 너희에게 무언가를 보여 주겠다!" 그러자 요나단이 자기 무기 든 자에게 말했다. "내 뒤를 따라 올라오라. 여호와께서 그들을 이스라엘의 손에 넘겨주셨다."
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armorbearer slew them after him.요나단이 손과 발로 기어 올라가니 그의 무기 든 자도 그 뒤를 따랐다. 블레셋 사람들이 요나단 앞에 쓰러졌고, 그의 무기 든 자가 그 뒤를 따라가며 그들을 죽였다.
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.요나단과 그의 무기 든 자가 처음으로 친 그 살육은 약 스무 명쯤이었는데, 그것은 마치 밭 한 이랑의 절반쯤 되는 좁은 지역에서 일어난 일이었다.
15 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.진영과 들과 모든 백성 가운데 떨림이 일어났고, 진지와 노략하던 자들까지도 떨었으며, 땅도 흔들렸으니, 심히 큰 떨림이 있었다.
16 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went hither and thither.베냐민의 기브아에 있던 사울의 파수꾼들이 바라보니, 보라, 그 무리가 녹아내리듯 사방으로 흩어지고 있었다.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “ Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.그때 사울이 자기와 함께 있는 백성에게 말했다. "이제 인원을 세어, 누가 우리 가운데서 빠졌는지 보라." 그들이 세어 보니, 보라, 요나단과 그의 무기 든 자가 거기 없었다.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “ Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.And Saul said unto Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was there at that time with the children of Israel.사울이 아히야에게 말했다. "하나님의 궤를 이리로 가져오라." 그때에 하나님의 궤가 이스라엘 자손과 함께 있었던 것이다.
19 While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.사울이 제사장에게 말하고 있는 동안에, 블레셋 사람들의 진영에 있던 소동이 점점 더 커져 가니, 사울이 제사장에게 말했다. "네 손을 거두라!"
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.And Saul and all the people that were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.사울과 그와 함께 있는 모든 백성이 함께 모여 싸움터로 나아갔다. 그런데 보라, 그들이 저마다 칼을 들어 서로를 치고 있었으니, 극심한 혼란이었다.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, and that went up with them into the camp, from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.또한 전부터 블레셋 사람들과 함께 있으면서 그들을 따라 진영에 올라왔던 히브리 사람들도 사방에서 돌이켜, 사울과 요나단과 함께 있는 이스라엘 사람들 편에 섰다.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.Likewise all the men of Israel that had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.마찬가지로 에브라임 산지에 숨어 있던 모든 이스라엘 사람들도 블레셋 사람들이 도망한다는 소식을 듣고, 그들 또한 싸움에서 그들을 바짝 뒤쫓았다.
23 So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.So Jehovah saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.그리하여 여호와께서 그날 이스라엘을 구원하셨으니, 그 싸움이 벧아웬을 지나서까지 이르렀다.
24 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.그날 이스라엘 사람들은 곤경에 빠져 있었다. 이는 사울이 백성에게 맹세시켜 이르기를 "저녁이 되어 내가 내 원수들에게 보복하기까지 음식을 먹는 자는 저주를 받을지어다" 하였기 때문이다. 그래서 백성 가운데 아무도 음식을 맛보지 않았다.
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground.온 백성이 숲에 들어갔는데, 땅에 꿀이 있었다.
26 When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.And when the people were come unto the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.백성이 숲에 들어갔을 때, 보라, 꿀이 흘러내리고 있었으나, 아무도 손을 입에 대지 않았으니, 이는 백성이 그 맹세를 두려워하였기 때문이다.
27 But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.그러나 요나단은 자기 아버지가 백성에게 맹세시킬 때에 그 말을 듣지 못했으므로, 손에 있는 지팡이 끝을 내밀어 그것을 벌집에 적셔 손을 입에 대니, 그의 눈이 밝아졌다.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, “ Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day. And the people were faint.그때 백성 가운데 하나가 대답하여 말했다. "당신의 아버지께서 백성에게 엄히 맹세시켜 이르시기를 '오늘 음식을 먹는 자는 저주를 받을지어다' 하셨습니다." 그리하여 백성이 지쳐 있었다.
29 Then Jonathan said, “ My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.그러자 요나단이 말했다. "내 아버지께서 이 땅을 괴롭게 하셨다. 보라, 내가 이 꿀을 조금 맛보았더니 내 눈이 어떻게 밝아졌는지를 보라.
30 How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now hath there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.하물며 백성이 오늘 자기들이 발견한 원수들의 노략물을 마음껏 먹었더라면 얼마나 더 좋았겠는가? 이제는 블레셋 사람들 가운데 큰 살육이 없게 되었구나."
31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint;그날 그들은 믹마스에서 아얄론까지 블레셋 사람들을 쳤다. 그래서 백성이 몹시 지쳐 있었다.
32 and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground; and the people did eat them with the blood.그러자 백성이 노략물에 달려들어 양과 소와 송아지를 잡아 땅에서 죽이고, 백성이 그것을 피째 먹었다.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “ Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “ You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have dealt treacherously: roll a great stone unto me this day.그때 사람들이 사울에게 알려 말했다. "보십시오, 백성이 고기를 피째 먹어 여호와께 죄를 짓고 있습니다." 그가 말했다. "너희가 신실하지 못하게 행하였구나. 오늘 큰 돌을 내게로 굴려 오라!"
34 Saul said, “ Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘ Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.사울이 말했다. "백성 가운데로 흩어져 들어가, 그들에게 이르기를 '각자 자기 소와 자기 양을 내게로 끌고 와서 여기서 잡아 먹되, 고기를 피째 먹어 여호와께 죄를 짓지 말라' 하라." 그날 밤 모든 백성이 각자 자기 소를 끌고 와서 거기서 잡았다.
35 Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.And Saul built an altar unto Jehovah: the same was the first altar that he built unto Jehovah.사울이 여호와께 제단을 쌓았으니, 이것이 그가 여호와께 쌓은 첫 번째 제단이었다.
36 Saul said, “ Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “ Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “ Let’s draw near here to God.”And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.사울이 말했다. "밤에 블레셋 사람들을 뒤쫓아 내려가, 아침 동이 트기까지 그들 가운데서 노략하고, 그들 가운데 한 사람도 남기지 말자." 그들이 말했다. "당신이 보시기에 좋은 대로 다 하십시오." 그러자 제사장이 말했다. "우리가 여기서 하나님께 가까이 나아갑시다."
37 Saul asked counsel of God: “ Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.사울이 하나님께 여쭈었다. "제가 블레셋 사람들을 뒤쫓아 내려가리이까? 그들을 이스라엘의 손에 넘겨주시겠나이까?" 그러나 그날 하나님께서 그에게 대답하지 않으셨다.
38 Saul said, “ Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.And Saul said, Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people; and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.사울이 말했다. "백성의 모든 우두머리들아, 이리로 가까이 나아오라. 오늘 이 죄가 어디에 있었는지 알아보고 살펴보라.
39 For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.For, as Jehovah liveth, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.이스라엘을 구원하시는 여호와께서 살아 계심을 두고 맹세하노니, 비록 그것이 내 아들 요나단에게 있다 할지라도, 그는 반드시 죽으리라." 그러나 모든 백성 가운데 그에게 대답하는 자가 한 사람도 없었다.
40 Then he said to all Israel, “ You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “ Do what seems good to you.”Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.그러자 그가 온 이스라엘에게 말했다. "너희는 한쪽에 서고, 나와 내 아들 요나단은 다른 쪽에 서겠다." 백성이 사울에게 말했다. "당신이 보시기에 좋은 대로 하십시오."
41 Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot; but the people escaped.그래서 사울이 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 아뢰었다. "바른 것을 보여 주옵소서." 그러자 요나단과 사울이 뽑히고 백성은 벗어났다.
42 Saul said, “ Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.사울이 말했다. "나와 내 아들 요나단 사이에 제비를 뽑으라." 그러자 요나단이 뽑혔다.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “ Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “ I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, lo, I must die.그때 사울이 요나단에게 말했다. "네가 한 일을 내게 말하라!" 요나단이 그에게 말했다. "제가 손에 있던 지팡이 끝으로 꿀을 조금 맛본 것이 참으로 사실입니다. 보십시오, 제가 죽어야 하겠나이다."
44 Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”And Saul said, God do so and more also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.사울이 말했다. "하나님께서 내게 이같이 행하시고 또 그보다 더하실지라도, 요나단아, 너는 반드시 죽으리라."
45 The people said to Saul, “ Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.백성이 사울에게 말했다. "이스라엘에 이 큰 구원을 이룬 요나단이 죽어야 하겠습니까? 결코 그럴 수 없습니다! 여호와께서 살아 계심을 두고 맹세하노니, 그의 머리카락 하나도 땅에 떨어지지 않을 것입니다. 이는 그가 오늘 하나님과 함께 일하였기 때문입니다." 이렇게 백성이 요나단을 구해 내니, 그가 죽지 않았다.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.그러자 사울이 블레셋 사람들을 뒤쫓던 일을 그치고 올라갔고, 블레셋 사람들도 자기들의 처소로 돌아갔다.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he 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. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he 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 put them to the worse.사울이 이스라엘을 다스리는 왕위에 오른 뒤에, 그는 사방의 모든 원수들과 싸웠으니, 곧 모압과 암몬 자손과 에돔과 소바의 왕들과 블레셋 사람들과 싸웠다. 그리고 그가 향하는 곳마다 그들을 무찔렀다.
48 He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that despoiled them.그는 용맹하게 싸워 아말렉 사람들을 치고, 이스라엘을 노략하던 자들의 손에서 이스라엘을 건져 내었다.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:사울의 아들들은 요나단과 이스위와 말기수아였고, 그의 두 딸의 이름은 이러하니, 맏딸의 이름은 메랍이요 작은딸의 이름은 미갈이었다.
50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.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.사울의 아내의 이름은 아히노암이니 아히마아스의 딸이요, 그의 군대 사령관의 이름은 아브넬이니 사울의 숙부인 넬의 아들이었다.
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.기스는 사울의 아버지요, 아브넬의 아버지 넬은 아비엘의 아들이었다.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.사울의 평생 동안 블레셋 사람들과의 싸움이 극심하였으니, 사울은 어떤 용사나 용맹한 사람을 보면 누구든지 자기에게로 데려왔다.
