Book 09 1 Samuel Chapter 011

 

011:001Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against
Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make
a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

 

011:002And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will
I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your
right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.

 

011:003And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days'
respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of
Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come
out to thee.

 

011:004Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the
tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted
up their voices, and wept.

 

011:005And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and
Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they
told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

 

011:006And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those
tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

 

011:007And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent
them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of
messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and
after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear
of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one
consent.

 

011:008And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel
were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty
thousand.

 

011:009And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say
unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun
be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed
it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

 

011:010Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out
unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto
you.

 

011:011And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three
companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the
morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the
day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were
scattered, so that two of them were not left together.

 

011:012And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall
Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to
death.

 

011:013And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day:
for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.

 

011:014Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal,
and renew the kingdom there.

 

011:015And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul
king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed
sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul
and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
