1 Samuel 11:1-3

1Then NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 cameH5927 up, and encampedH2583 against Jabesh-gilead: and all the menH376 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 unto NahashH5176, MakeH3772 a covenantH1285 with us, and we will serveH5647 thee.

2And NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 saidH559 unto them, On this condition will I makeH7760 it with you, that all your rightH3225 eyesH5869 be putH7760 out; and I will lay it for a reproachH2781 upon all IsraelH3478.

3And the eldersH2205 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 unto him, Give us sevenH7651 days’H3117 respite, that we may sendH7971 messengersH4397 unto all the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478; and then, if there be none to saveH3467 us, we will comeH3318 out to thee.
