1
Now Nahash
the Ammonite
came
up and besieged
Jabesh-gilead;
and all
the men
of Jabesh
said
to Nahash,
"Make
a covenant
with us and we will serve
you."
2
But Nahash
the Ammonite
said
to them, "I will make
it with you on this
condition, that I will gouge
out the right
eye
of every
one
of you, thus I will make
it a reproach
on all
Israel."
3
The elders
of Jabesh
said
to him, "Let us alone
for seven
days,
that we may send
messengers
throughout
the territory
of Israel.
Then, if
there is no one
to deliver
us, we will come
out to you."
4
Then the messengers
came
to Gibeah
of Saul
and spoke
these words
in the hearing
of
the people
,
and all
the people
lifted
up their voices
and wept.
5
Now behold,
Saul
was coming
from the field
behind
the oxen,
and he said,
"What
is the matter with the people
that they weep?"
So they related
to him the words
of the men
of Jabesh.
6
Then the Spirit
of God
came
upon Saul
mightily
when he heard
these
words,
and he became
very
angry.
7
He took
a yoke
of oxen
and cut them in pieces,
and sent
them throughout
the territory
of Israel
by the hand
of messengers,
saying,
"Whoever
does not come
out after
Saul
and after
Samuel,
so
shall it be done
to his oxen."
Then the dread
of the LORD
fell
on the people,
and they came
out as one
man.
8
He numbered
them in Bezek;
and the sons
of Israel
were 300,000,
and the men
of Judah
30,000.
9
They said
to the messengers
who had come,
"Thus
you shall say
to
the men
of Jabesh-gilead,
'Tomorrow,
by the time the sun
is hot,
you will have
deliverance.'"
So the messengers
went
and told
the men
of Jabesh;
and they were glad.
10
Then the men
of Jabesh
said,
"Tomorrow
we will come
out to you, and you may do
to us whatever
seems good
to you."
11
The next morning
Saul
put
the people
in three
companies;
and they came
into the midst
of the camp
at the morning
watch
and struck down
the Ammonites
until
the heat
of the day.
Those who survived
were scattered,
so that no
two
of them were left
together.
12
Then the people
said
to Samuel,
"Who
is he that
said
,
'Shall Saul
reign
over
us?' Bring
the men,
that we may put them to death."
13
But Saul
said,
"Not a man
shall be put to death
this
day,
for today
the LORD
has accomplished
deliverance
in Israel."
14
Then Samuel
said
to the people,
"Come
and let us go
to Gilgal
and renew
the kingdom
there."
15
So all
the people
went
to Gilgal,
and there
they made
Saul
king
before
the LORD
in Gilgal.
There
they also offered
sacrifices
of peace offerings
before
the LORD
;
and there
Saul
and all
the men
of Israel
rejoiced
greatly.
