1 Samuel 11:4-7
4The messengers came to Saul’s town, Gibeah. When they told the people the news, the people cried loudly.
5Just then Saul was coming from the field behind some oxen. “Why are these people crying?” Saul asked. So they told him the news about the men of Jabesh.
6When he heard this news, God’s Spirit came over him, and he became very angry.
7Saul took a pair of oxen, cut them in pieces, and sent them by messengers throughout the territory of Israel with the following message: “This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who doesn’t follow Saul and Samuel ⌞into battle⌟.” So the people became terrified by the Lord, and they came out united ⌞behind Saul⌟.
