1 Samuel 11
Then NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 came upH5927, and encampedH2583 against Jabesh-gileadH3003: and all the menH582 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 unto NahashH5176, MakeH3772 a covenantH1285 with us, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 saidH559 unto them, On thisH2063 condition will I makeH3772 it with you, that all your rightH3225 eyesH5869 be put outH5365; and I will layH7760 it for a reproachH2781 upon all IsraelH3478.
And the eldersH2205 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 unto him, Give us sevenH7651 daysH3117' respiteH7503, that we may sendH7971 messengersH4397 unto all the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478; and then, if there be none to saveH3467 us, we will come outH3318 to thee.
Then cameH935 the messengersH4397 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586, and spakeH1696 these wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971: and all the peopleH5971 lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And, behold, SaulH7586 cameH935 followingH310 the oxenH1241 out of the fieldH7704; and SaulH7586 saidH559, What aileth the peopleH5971 that they weepH1058? And they toldH5608 him the wordsH1697 of the menH582 of JabeshH3003.
And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH6743 mightily upon SaulH7586 when he heardH8085 those wordsH1697, and his angerH639 was kindledH2734 greatlyH3966.
And he tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and cut them in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 them throughout all the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478 by the handH3027 of messengersH4397, sayingH559, Whosoever cometh not forthH3318 afterH310 SaulH7586 and afterH310 SamuelH8050, so shall it be doneH6213 unto his oxenH1241. And the dreadH6343 of JehovahH3068 fellH5307 on the peopleH5971, and they came outH3318 as oneH259 manH376.
And he numberedH6485 them in BezekH966; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 thirtyH7970 thousandH505.
And they saidH559 unto the messengersH4397 that cameH935, Thus shall ye sayH559 unto the menH376 of Jabesh-gileadH3003, To-morrowH4279, by the time the sunH8121 is hotH2527, ye shall have deliveranceH8668. And the messengersH4397 cameH935 and toldH5046 the menH582 of JabeshH3003; and they were gladH8055.
Therefore the menH582 of JabeshH3003 saidH559, To-morrowH4279 we will come outH3318 unto you, and ye shall doH6213 with us all that seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto you.
And it was so on the morrowH4283, that SaulH7586 putH7760 the peopleH5971 in threeH7969 companiesH7218; and they cameH935 into the midstH8432 of the campH4264 in the morningH1242 watchH821, and smoteH5221 the AmmonitesH5983 until the heatH2527 of the dayH3117: and it came to pass, that they that remainedH7604 were scatteredH6327, so that not twoH8147 of them were leftH7604 togetherH3162.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, Who is he that saidH559, Shall SaulH7586 reignH4427 over us? bringH5414 the menH582, that we may put them to deathH4191.
And SaulH7586 saidH559, There shall not a manH376 be put to deathH4191 this dayH3117; for to-dayH3117 JehovahH3068 hath wroughtH6213 deliveranceH8668 in IsraelH3478.
Then saidH559 SamuelH8050 to the peopleH5971, ComeH3212, and let us goH3212 to GilgalH1537, and renewH2318 the kingdomH4410 there.
And all the peopleH5971 wentH3212 to GilgalH1537; and there they made SaulH7586 kingH4427 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068 in GilgalH1537; and there they offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 of peace-offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068; and there SaulH7586 and all the menH582 of IsraelH3478 rejoicedH8055 greatlyH3966.
