5Now beholdH2009, SaulH7586 was comingH935 from the fieldH7704 1behindH310 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. 6Then 2the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 rushedH6743 uponH5921 SaulH7586 when he heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, and 3he becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH639H2734. 7He then tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxenH1241 and 4cutH5408 them inH5408 piecesH5408, and sentH7971 them throughoutH3605 the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478 by the handH3027 of messengersH4397, sayingH559, “5WhoeverH834 does not comeH3318 outH3318 afterH310 SaulH7586 and afterH310 SamuelH8050, the sameH3541 shall be doneH6213 to his oxenH1241.” Then the dreadH6343 of the LordH3068 fellH5307 on the peopleH5971, and they cameH3318 outH3318 6as oneH259 personH376. 8He 7countedH6485 them in 8BezekH966; and the 9sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 were threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505, and the menH376 of JudahH3063, thirtyH7970 thousandH505. 9They saidH559 to the messengersH4397 who had comeH935, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to the menH376 of Jabesh-gileadH3003H1568: ‘TomorrowH4279, by the time the sunH8121 is hotH2527, you will beH1961 savedH8668.’” So the messengersH4397 wentH935 and toldH5046 the menH376 of JabeshH3003; and they rejoicedH8055. 10Then the menH376 of JabeshH3003 saidH559, “10TomorrowH4279 we will comeH3318 outH3318 to you, and you may doH6213 to us whateverH3605 seems goodH2896 11to you.” 11The nextH4283 morningH4283 SaulH7586 putH7760 the peopleH5971 12in threeH7969 companiesH7218; and they cameH935 into the midstH8432 of the campH4264 at the morningH1242 watchH821, and struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 the AmmonitesH5983 untilH5704 the heatH2527 of the dayH3117. And those who survivedH7604 scatteredH6327, so that noH3808 twoH8147 of them were leftH7604 togetherH3162.
