1 Samuel

  • Saul Defeats the Ammonites

  • |1 Samuel 11:1| a Then Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged b Jabesh-gilead, and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, c “Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”

  • |1 Samuel 11:2| But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make a treaty with you, d that I gouge out all your right eyes, and thus e bring disgrace on all Israel.”

  • |1 Samuel 11:3| The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days' respite that we may send messengers through all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will give ourselves up to you.”

  • |1 Samuel 11:4| When the messengers came to f Gibeah of Saul, they reported the matter in the ears of the people, g and all the people wept aloud.

  • |1 Samuel 11:5| Now, behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen. And Saul said, “What is wrong with the people, that they are weeping?” So they told him the news of the men of Jabesh.

  • |1 Samuel 11:6| h And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled.

  • |1 Samuel 11:7| He took a yoke of oxen i and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, j “Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!” Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people, and they came out k as one man.

  • |1 Samuel 11:8| When he mustered them at l Bezek, m the people of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

  • |1 Samuel 11:9| And they said to the messengers who had come, “Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have n salvation.’” When the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh, they were glad.

  • |1 Samuel 11:10| Therefore the men of Jabesh said, o “Tomorrow we will give ourselves up to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.”
