1 Samuel 11:5-7

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.
