1 Samuel 14:45-47

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁵ But the soldiers said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die? Never! He is responsible for saving Israel today! As surely as the Lord lives, not even a hair of his head will fall to the ground! Today Jonathan fought against the Philistines with God’s help!” So the army saved Jonathan, and he did not die.

⁴⁶ Then Saul stopped chasing the Philistines. And they went back to their own land.

Saul Fights Israel’s Enemies

⁴⁷ When Saul became king over Israel, he fought against Israel’s enemies all around. He fought Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the king of Zobah and the Philistines. Everywhere Saul went he defeated Israel’s enemies.
