1 Samuel 11:1-5

1Now 1NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 wentH5927 upH5927 and besiegedH2583H5921 2Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568; and allH3605 the menH376 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 to NahashH5176, “MakeH3772 3a covenantH1285 with us and we will serveH5647 you.” 2But NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 saidH559 to them, “I will makeH3772 it with you on thisH2088 condition, 4that I will gougeH5365 outH5365 the rightH3225 eyeH5869 of everyH3605 oneH3605 of you, and thereby I will inflictH7760 5a disgraceH2781 on allH3605 IsraelH3478.” 3So 6the eldersH2205 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 to him, “AllowH7503 us sevenH7651 daysH3117 to sendH7971 messengersH4397 throughoutH3605 the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478. Then, ifH518 thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 us, we will comeH3318 outH3318 to you.” 4Then the messengersH4397 cameH935 7to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 and spokeH1696 these wordsH1697 in the hearingH241 of the peopleH5971, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 8raisedH5375 their voicesH6963 and weptH1058.

5Now beholdH2009, SaulH7586 was comingH935 from the fieldH7704 9behindH310 the oxenH1241, and SaulH7586 saidH559, “WhatH4100 is the matter with the peopleH5971 that they weepH1058?” So they reportedH5608 to him the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JabeshH3003.
