1 Samuel 11:1-2

1Then Nahash1 the Ammonite came up and laid siege to Jabesh-gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty2 with us, and we will serve you.”

2But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you on one condition, that I may put out everyone’s right eye and bring reproach upon all Israel.”
