1 Samuel 11:1-5

1And NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 cameH5927 up and encampedH2583 against Jabesh-Gilead. And all the menH376 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 to NahashH5176, MakeH3772 a covenantH1285 with us, and we will serveH5647 thee.

2And NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 saidH559 to them, On this [condition] will I treat with you, that I thrust out all your rightH3225 eyesH5869, and lay it for a reproachH2781 upon all IsraelH3478.

3And the eldersH2205 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 to him, Allow us sevenH7651 daysH3117, and we will sendH7971 messengersH4397 into all the districts of IsraelH3478; and if there be no manH2205 to deliverH3467 us, we will comeH3318 out to thee.

4And the messengersH4397 cameH935 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 and told these wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971. And all the peopleH5971 liftedH5375 up their voiceH6963 and weptH1058.

5And behold, SaulH7586 cameH935 after the oxenH1241 from the fieldH7704; and SaulH7586 saidH559, What [aileth] the peopleH5971 that they weepH1058? And they related to him the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JabeshH3003.
