52 E tutto il tempo di Saulle vi fu aspra guerra contro a’ Filistei; e Saulle accoglieva appresso di sè qualunque uomo prode, e qualunque persona di valore egli vedeva.

1 Samuele 14:52 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:52

And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of
Saul
For notwithstanding the late victory over them, and slaughter made among them, they recovered themselves, and came out again to battle, and gave Saul a great deal of trouble, and he at last died in battle with them:

and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto
him;
to be his bodyguard, as Josephus ^F17 says; or for soldiers and officers in his army, even such, as the same writer observes, that exceeded others in comeliness of person, and in largeness and height; such as were in some measure like himself, that were strong, able bodied men, and of courage, and valour, and fortitude of mind.
