1 Samuel 11:4-10

4Then the messengersH4397 cameH935 1to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 and spokeH1696 these wordsH1697 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 2liftedH5375 up their voicesH6963 and weptH1058.

5Now beholdH2009, SaulH7586 was comingH935 from the fieldH7704 3behindH310 the oxenH1241, and 4he saidH559, “WhatH4100 is the matter with the peopleH5971 that they weepH1058?” So they relatedH5608 to him the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JabeshH3003. 6Then 5the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586 mightilyH6743 when he heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, and 6he becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH639H2734. 7He tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxenH1241 and 7cutH5408 them in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 them throughoutH3605 the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478 by the handH3027 of messengersH4397, sayingH559, “8WhoeverH834 does not comeH3318 out afterH310 SaulH7586 and afterH310 SamuelH8050, soH3541 shall it be doneH6213 to his oxenH1241.” Then the dreadH6343 of the LordH3068 fellH5307 on the peopleH5971, and they cameH3318 out 9as oneH259 manH376. 8He 10numberedH6485 them in 11BezekH966; and the 12sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were 300,000H7969H3967H505, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 30,000H7970H505. 9They saidH559 to the messengersH4397 who had comeH935, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to the menH376 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568, ‘TomorrowH4279, by the time the sunH8121 is hotH2552, you will haveH1961 deliveranceH8668.’” So the messengersH4397 wentH935 and toldH5046 the menH376 of JabeshH3003; and they were gladH8055. 10Then the menH376 of JabeshH3003 saidH559, “13TomorrowH4279 we will comeH3318 out to you, and you may doH6213 to us whateverH3605 seems goodH2896 14to you.”
