I Samuel 11 (kjv)

Then Nahash^H5176 the Ammonite^H5984 came up^H5927, and encamped^H2583 against Jabeshgilead^{H3003 H1568}: and all the men^H582 of Jabesh^H3003 said^H559 unto Nahash^H5176, Make^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with us, and we will serve^H5647 thee.²And 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 your right^H3225 eyes^H5869, and lay^H7760 it for a reproach^H2781 upon all Israel^H3478.³And the elders^H2205 of Jabesh^H3003 said^H559 unto him, Give us seven^H7651 days^H3117' respite^H7503, that we may send^H7971 messengers^H4397 unto all the coasts^H1366 of Israel^H3478: and then, if there be no man to save^H3467 us, we will come out^H3318 to thee.

⁴Then 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 their voices^H6963, and wept^H1058.⁵And, behold, Saul^H7586 came^H935 after^H310 the herd^H1241 out of the field^H7704; and Saul^H7586 said^H559, What aileth the people^H5971 that they weep^H1058? And they told^H5608 him the tidings^H1697 of the men^H582 of Jabesh^H3003.⁶And the Spirit^H7307 of God^H430 came^H6743 upon Saul^H7586 when he heard^H8085 those tidings^H1697, and his anger^H639 was kindled^H2734 greatly^H3966.⁷And 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 shall it be done^H6213 unto his oxen^H1241. And the fear^H6343 of the LORD^H3068 fell^H5307 on the people^H5971, and they came out^H3318 with one^H259 consent^H376.⁸And 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^H505.⁹And they said^H559 unto the messengers^H4397 that came^H935, Thus shall ye say^H559 unto the men^H376 of Jabeshgilead^{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^H8055.¹⁰Therefore the men^H582 of Jabesh^H3003 said^H559, To morrow^H4279 we will come out^H3318 unto you, and ye shall do^H6213 with us all that seemeth^H5869 good^H2896 unto you.¹¹And it was so on the morrow^H4283, that Saul^H7586 put^H7760 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 the Ammonites^H5983 until 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.

¹²And the people^H5971 said^H559 unto Samuel^H8050, Who is he that said^H559, Shall Saul^H7586 reign^H4427 over us? bring^H5414 the men^H582, that we may put them to death^H4191.¹³And Saul^H7586 said^H559, There shall not a man^H376 be put to death^H4191 this day^H3117: for to day^H3117 the LORD^H3068 hath wrought^H6213 salvation^H8668 in Israel^H3478.¹⁴Then 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.¹⁵And 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^H3966.
