Context of 1 Samuel 11:6
4And the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told these words in the ears of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept. 5And behold, Saul came after the oxen from the field; and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh. And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly. 7And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen! And the fear of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man. 8And he numbered them in Bezek, and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
