1
Then Nahash [5176] the Ammonite [5984] came up, [5927] and encamped [2583] against Jabeshgilead: [3003] [1568] and all the men [0582] of Jabesh [3003] said [0559] unto Nahash, [5176] Make [3772] a covenant [1285] with us, and we will serve [5647] thee.
2
And Nahash [5176] the Ammonite [5984] answered [0559] them, On this [2063] [condition] will I make [3772] [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out [5365] all your right [3225] eyes, [5869] and lay [7760] it [for] a reproach [2781] upon all Israel. [3478]
3
And the elders [2205] of Jabesh [3003] said [0559] unto him, Give us seven [7651] days' [3117] respite, [7503] that we may send [7971] messengers [4397] unto all the coasts [1366] of Israel: [3478] and then, if [there be] no man to save [3467] us, we will come out [3318] to thee.
4
Then came [0935] the messengers [4397] to Gibeah [1390] of Saul, [7586] and told [1696] the tidings [1697] in the ears [0241] of the people: [5971] and all the people [5971] lifted up [5375] their voices, [6963] and wept. [1058]
5
And, behold, Saul [7586] came [0935] after [0310] the herd [1241] out of the field; [7704] and Saul [7586] said, [0559] What [aileth] the people [5971] that they weep? [1058] And they told [5608] him the tidings [1697] of the men [0582] of Jabesh. [3003]
6
And the Spirit [7307] of God [0430] came [6743] upon Saul [7586] when he heard [8085] those tidings, [1697] and his anger [0639] was kindled [2734] greatly. [3966]
7
And he took [3947] a yoke [6776] of oxen, [1241] and hewed them in pieces, [5408] and sent [7971] [them] throughout all the coasts [1366] of Israel [3478] by the hands [3027] of messengers, [4397] saying, [0559] Whosoever cometh not forth [3318] after [0310] Saul [7586] and after [0310] Samuel, [8050] so shall it be done [6213] unto his oxen. [1241] And the fear [6343] of the LORD [3068] fell [5307] on the people, [5971] and they came out [3318] with one [0259] consent. [0376]
8
And when he numbered [6485] them in Bezek, [0966] the children [1121] of Israel [3478] were three [7969] hundred [3967] thousand, [0505] and the men [0376] of Judah [3063] thirty [7970] thousand. [0505]
9
And they said [0559] unto the messengers [4397] that came, [0935] Thus shall ye say [0559] unto the men [0376] of Jabeshgilead, [3003] [1568] To morrow, [4279] by [that time] the sun [8121] be hot, [2527] ye shall have help. [8668] And the messengers [4397] came [0935] and shewed [5046] [it] to the men [0582] of Jabesh; [3003] and they were glad. [8055]
10
Therefore the men [0582] of Jabesh [3003] said, [0559] To morrow [4279] we will come out [3318] unto you, and ye shall do [6213] with us all that seemeth [5869] good [2896] unto you.
11
And it was [so] on the morrow, [4283] that Saul [7586] put [7760] the people [5971] in three [7969] companies; [7218] and they came [0935] into the midst [8432] of the host [4264] in the morning [1242] watch, [0821] and slew [5221] the Ammonites [5983] until the heat [2527] of the day: [3117] and it came to pass, that they which remained [7604] were scattered, [6327] so that two [8147] of them were not left [7604] together. [3162]
12
And the people [5971] said [0559] unto Samuel, [8050] Who [is] he that said, [0559] Shall Saul [7586] reign [4427] over us? bring [5414] the men, [0582] that we may put them to death. [4191]
13
And Saul [7586] said, [0559] There shall not a man [0376] be put to death [4191] this day: [3117] for to day [3117] the LORD [3068] hath wrought [6213] salvation [8668] in Israel. [3478]
14
Then said [0559] Samuel [8050] to the people, [5971] Come, [3212] and let us go [3212] to Gilgal, [1537] and renew [2318] the kingdom [4410] there.
15
And all the people [5971] went [3212] to Gilgal; [1537] and there they made Saul [7586] king [4427] before [6440] the LORD [3068] in Gilgal; [1537] and there they sacrificed [2076] sacrifices [2077] of peace offerings [8002] before [6440] the LORD; [3068] and there Saul [7586] and all the men [0582] of Israel [3478] rejoiced [8055] greatly.
