1SA-11:1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against
Jabeshgilead:
and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with
us, and we
will serve thee.
1SA-11:2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this
[condition] will I
make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right
eyes, and lay
it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.
1SA-11:3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven
days' respite,
that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and
then, if [there
be] no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
1SA-11:4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told
the tidings in
the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their
voices, and wept.
1SA-11:5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field;
and Saul
said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they told him
the tidings
of the men of Jabesh.
1SA-11:6 And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard
those tidings,
and his anger was kindled greatly.
1SA-11:7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces,
and sent
[them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of
messengers, saying,
Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall
it be done
unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and
they came out
with one consent.
1SA-11:8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of
Israel were
three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
1SA-11:9 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus
shall ye say unto
the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by [that time] the sun be
hot, ye shall
have help. And the messengers came and showed [it] to the men of
Jabesh; and
they were glad.
1SA-11:10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will
come out unto
you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
1SA-11:11 And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul put the
people in three
companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the
morning watch, and
slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to
pass, that they
which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left
together.
1SA-11:12 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.
1SA-11:13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death
this day: for
to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
1SA-11:14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go
to Gilgal, and
renew the kingdom there.
1SA-11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they
made Saul king
before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices
of peace
offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of
Israel rejoiced
greatly.
