Translation: [Note] that for Saul the king of the Jews [the] beginning of the esteem in which he was held by everyone occurred [sc. in the war] against Nahash the king of the Ammonites; for this man did many bad things to the Jews, and besides the other bad things, he cut out the right eyes of all whom he subdued by the law/custom of war, in order that they would be utterly useless with their best[1] eye being covered by the shields. So Saul took on this man in combat.
