[1] Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.” [2] Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.” [3] The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.” [4] Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept. [5] Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh. [6] God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot. [7] He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man. [8] He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. [9] They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. [10] Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.” [11] On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together. [12] The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!” [13] Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today Yahweh has rescued Israel.” [14] Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.” [15] All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

[1] Then Nahash H5176 the Ammonite H5984 came up, H5927 and encamped H2583 against H5921 Jabesh-gilead: H3003 H1568 and all the men H582 of Jabesh H3003 said H559 unto H413 Nahash, H5176 Make H3772 a covenant H1285 with us, and we will serve H5647 thee. [2] And Nahash H5176 the Ammonite H5984 answered H559 them, On this H2063 condition will I make H3772 a covenant with you, that I may thrust out H5365 all H3605 your right H3225 eyes, H5869 and lay H7760 it for a reproach H2781 upon H5921 all H3605 Israel. H3478 [3] And the elders H2205 of Jabesh H3003 said H559 unto H413 him, Give us§ seven H7651 days’ H3117 respite, H7503 that we may send H7971 messengers H4397 unto H413 all H3605 the coasts H1366 of Israel: H3478 and then, if there be no man to save H3467 us, we will come out H3318 to thee. [4] Then came H935 the messengers H4397 to Gibeah H1390 of Saul, H7586 and told H1696 the tidings H1697 in the ears H241 of the people: H5971 and all the people H5971 lifted up H5375 H853 their voices, H6963 and wept. H1058 [5] And, behold, Saul H7586 came H935 after H310 the herd H1241 out of H4480 the field; H7704 and Saul H7586 said, H559 What aileth the people H5971 that they weep? H1058 And they told H5608 H853 him the tidings H1697 of the men H582 of Jabesh. H3003 [6] And the Spirit H7307 of God H430 came H6743 upon H5921 Saul H7586 when he heard H8085 H853 those tidings, H1697 and his anger H639 was kindled H2734 greatly. H3966 [7] And he took H3947 a yoke H6776 of oxen, H1241 and hewed them in pieces, H5408 and sent H7971 them throughout all the coasts H1366 of Israel H3478 by the hands H3027 of messengers, H4397 saying, H559 Whosoever cometh not forth H3318 after H310 Saul H7586 and after H310 Samuel, H8050 so H3541 shall it be done H6213 unto his oxen. H1241 And the fear H6343 of the Lord H3068 fell H5307 on H5921 the people, H5971 and they came out H3318 with one H259 consent. H376§ [8] And when he numbered H6485 them in Bezek, H966 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand, H505 and the men H376 of Judah H3063 thirty H7970 thousand. H505 [9] And they said H559 unto the messengers H4397 that came, H935 Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 unto the men H376 of Jabesh-gilead, H3003 H1568 To morrow, H4279 by that time the sun H8121 be hot, H2527 ye shall have help. H8668§ And the messengers H4397 came H935 and shewed H5046 it to the men H582 of Jabesh; H3003 and they were glad. H8055 [10] Therefore the men H582 of Jabesh H3003 said, H559 To morrow H4279 we will come out H3318 unto H413 you, and ye shall do H6213 with us all that seemeth H5869 good H2896 unto you. [11] And it was so on the morrow, H4283 that Saul H7586 put H7760 H853 the people H5971 in three H7969 companies; H7218 and they came H935 into the midst H8432 of the host H4264 in the morning H1242 watch, H821 and slew H5221 H853 the Ammonites H5983 until H5704 the heat H2527 of the day: H3117 and it came to pass, that they which remained H7604 were scattered, H6327 so that two H8147 of them were not left H7604 together. H3162 [12] And the people H5971 said H559 unto H413 Samuel, H8050 Who is he that said, H559 Shall Saul H7586 reign H4427 over H5921 us? bring H5414 the men, H582 that we may put them to death. H4191 [13] And Saul H7586 said, H559 There shall not a man H376 be put to death H4191 this H2088 day: H3117 for H3588 to day H3117 the Lord H3068 hath wrought H6213 salvation H8668 in Israel. H3478 [14] Then said H559 Samuel H8050 to the people, H5971 Come, H3212 and let us go H3212 to Gilgal, H1537 and renew H2318 the kingdom H4410 there. [15] And all the people H5971 went H3212 to Gilgal; H1537 and there they made Saul H7586 king H4427 before H6440 the Lord H3068 in Gilgal; H1537 and there they sacrificed H2076 sacrifices H2077 of peace offerings H8002 before H6440 the Lord; H3068 and there Saul H7586 and all the men H582 of Israel H3478 rejoiced H8055 greatly.
