1 Samuel 11:1-5

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. 4Then cameH935 the messengersH4397 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586, and spake these wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971: and all the peopleH5971 liftedH5375 up their voiceH6963, and weptH1058. 5And, behold, SaulH7586 cameH935 following the oxenH1241 out of the fieldH7704; and SaulH7586 saidH559, What aileth the peopleH5971 that they weepH1058? And they told him the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JabeshH3003.
