H5176
Then Nahash
H5984
the Ammonite
H5927
came up,
H2583
and encamped
H3003
against Jabesh-gilead:
H582
and all the men
H3003
of Jabesh
H559
said
H5176
unto Nahash,
H3772
Make
H1285
a covenant
H5647
with us, and we will serve thee.
2
H5176
And Nahash
H5984
the Ammonite
H559
said
H2063
unto them, On this
H3772
condition will I make
H3225
it with you, that all your right
H5869
eyes
H5365
be put out;
H7760
and I will lay
H2781
it for a reproach
H3478
upon all Israel.
3
H2205
And the elders
H3003
of Jabesh
H559
said
H7651
unto him, Give us seven
H3117
days'
H7503
respite,
H7971
that we may send
H4397
messengers
H1366
unto all the borders
H3478
of Israel;
H3467
and then, if there be none to save
H3318
us, we will come out to thee.
4
H935
Then came
H4397
the messengers
H1390
to Gibeah
H7586
of Saul,
H1696
and spake
H1697
these words
H241
in the ears
H5971
of the people:
H5971
and all the people
H5375
lifted up
H6963
their voice,
H1058
and wept.
5
H7586
And, behold, Saul
H935
came
H310
following
H1241
the oxen
H7704
out of the field;
H7586
and Saul
H559
said,
H5971
What aileth the people
H1058
that they weep?
H5608
And they told
H1697
him the words
H582
of the men
H3003
of Jabesh.
6
H7307
And the Spirit
H430
of God
H6743
came
H7586
mightily upon Saul
H8085
when he heard
H1697
those words,
H639
and his anger
H2734
was kindled
H3966
greatly.
7
H3947
And he took
H6776
a yoke
H1241
of oxen,
H5408
and cut them in pieces,
H7971
and sent
H1366
them throughout all the borders
H3478
of Israel
H3027
by the hand
H4397
of messengers,
H559
saying,
H3318
Whosoever cometh not forth
H310
after
H7586
Saul
H310
and after
H8050
Samuel,
H6213
so shall it be done
H1241
unto his oxen.
H6343
And the dread
H3068
of Jehovah
H5307
fell
H5971
on the people,
H3318
and they came out
H259
as one
H376
man.
8
H6485
And he numbered
H966
them in Bezek;
H1121
and the children
H3478
of Israel
H7969
were three
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand,
H376
and the men
H3063
of Judah
H7970
thirty
H505
thousand.
9
H559
And they said
H4397
unto the messengers
H935
that came,
H559
Thus shall ye say
H376
unto the men
H3003
of Jabesh-gilead,
H4279
To-morrow,
H8121
by the time the sun
H2527
is hot,
H8668
ye shall have deliverance.
H4397
And the messengers
H935
came
H5046
and told
H582
the men
H3003
of Jabesh;
H8055
and they were glad.
10
H582
Therefore the men
H3003
of Jabesh
H559
said,
H4279
To-morrow
H3318
we will come out
H6213
unto you, and ye shall do
H5869
with us all that seemeth
H2896
good unto you.
11
H4283
And it was so on the morrow,
H7586
that Saul
H7760
put
H5971
the people
H7969
in three
H7218
companies;
H935
and they came
H8432
into the midst
H4264
of the camp
H1242
in the morning
H821
watch,
H5221
and smote
H5983
the Ammonites
H2527
until the heat
H3117
of the day:
H7604
and it came to pass, that they that remained
H6327
were scattered,
H8147
so that not two
H7604
of them were left
H3162
together.
12
H5971
And the people
H559
said
H8050
unto Samuel,
H559
Who is he that said,
H7586
Shall Saul
H4427
reign
H5414
over us? bring
H582
the men,
H4191
that we may put them to death.
13
H7586
And Saul
H559
said,
H376
There shall not a man
H4191
be put to death
H3117
this day;
H3117
for to-day
H3068
Jehovah
H6213
hath wrought
H8668
deliverance
H3478
in Israel.
14
H559
Then said
H8050
Samuel
H5971
to the people,
H3212
Come,
H3212
and let us go
H1537
to Gilgal,
H2318
and renew
H4410
the kingdom there.
15
H5971
And all the people
H3212
went
H1537
to Gilgal;
H7586
and there they made Saul
H4427
king
H6440
before
H3068
Jehovah
H1537
in Gilgal;
H2076
and there they offered
H2077
sacrifices
H8002
of peace-offerings
H6440
before
H3068
Jehovah;
H7586
and there Saul
H582
and all the men
H3478
of Israel
H8055
rejoiced
H3966
greatly.
