1Then NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 cameH5927 upH5927, and encampedH2583 againstH5921 Jabesh-gilead: and allH3605 the menH376 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 unto NahashH5176, MakeH3772 a covenantH1285 with usH413, and weH3605 will serveH5647 thee.
2And NahashH5176 the AmmoniteH5984 saidH559 unto them, On this condition will I makeH7760 it with youH3605, that allH3605 your rightH3225 eyesH5869 be putH7760 outH5921; and I will layH7760 it for a reproachH2781 uponH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478.
3And the eldersH2205 of JabeshH3003 saidH559 unto him, Give usH413 sevenH7651 days’H3117 respite, that weH518 may sendH7971 messengersH4397 unto allH3605 the bordersH1366 of IsraelH3478: and then, ifH518 there be noneH369 to saveH3467 usH413, weH518 will comeH3318 outH3318 to thee.
4Then cameH935 the messengersH4397 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586, and spake theseH1696 wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971: and allH3605 the peopleH5971 liftedH5375 upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
5And, beholdH2009, SaulH7586 cameH935 followingH310 the oxenH1241 outH4480 of the fieldH7704; and SaulH7586 saidH559, WhatH4100 aileth the peopleH5971 that they weepH1058? And they toldH559 him the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JabeshH3003.
