1 Samuel 11:8-10

8They met together at Bezek. Saul counted 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah.

9Saul said to the men who had brought the news from Jabesh, ‘Return to Jabesh. Tell the people, “We will come to rescue you tomorrow, before midday.” ’ So the men took the message to the people in Jabesh. The people were very happy.

10The men there said to Nahash, ‘Tomorrow we will come out of the town to you. Then you can do anything that you want to us.’
