Chapter 11
Then
Nahash
the
Ammonite
came
vp,
and
encamped
against
Iabesh
Gilead:
and
all
the
men
of
Iabesh
sayde
vnto
Nahash,
Make
a
couenant
with
vs,
and
we
will
serue
thee.
2
And
Nahash
the
Ammonite
answered
them,
On
this
condition
will
I
make
a
couenant
with
you,
that
I
may
thrust
out
all
your
right
eyes,
and
lay
it
for
a
reproch
vpon
all
Israel.
3
And
the
Elders
of
Iabesh
sayd
vnto
him,
Giue
vs
seuen
daies
respite,
that
we
may
send
messengers
vnto
all
the
coasts
of
Israel:
and
then,
if
there
be
no
man
to
saue
vs,
we
will
come
out
to
thee.
4
Then
came
the
messengers
to
Gibeah
of
Saul,
and
told
the
tidings
in
the
eares
of
the
people:
and
all
the
people
lift
vp
their
voyces,
and
wept.
5
And
behold,
Saul
came
after
the
herd
out
of
the
field,
and
Saul
sayd,
What
aileth
the
people
that
they
weep?
and
they
told
him
the
tidings
of
the
men
of
Iabesh.
6
And
the
Spirit
of
God
came
vpon
Saul,
when
he
heard
those
tydings,
and
his
anger
was
kindled
greatly.
7
And
he
tooke
a
yoke
of
oxen,
and
hewed
them
in
pieces,
and
sent
them
throughout
all
the
coasts
of
Israel
by
the
hands
of
messengers,
saying,
Whosoeuer
commeth
not
foorth
after
Saul
and
after
Samuel,
so
shall
it
bee
done
vnto
his
oxen:
and
the
feare
of
the
Lord
fell
on
the
people,
and
they
came
out
with
one
consent.
8
And
when
he
numbred
them
in
Bezek,
the
children
of
Israel
were
three
hundred
thousand,
and
the
men
of
Iudah
thirty
thousand.
9
And
they
said
vnto
the
messengers
that
came,
Thus
shall
yee
say
vnto
the
men
of
Iabesh
Gilead,
To
morrow
by
that
time
the
sunne
be
hote,
ye
shal
haue
helpe.
And
the
messengers
came,
and
shewed
it
to
the
men
of
Iabesh,
and
they
were
glad.
10
Therfore
the
men
of
Iabesh
said,
To
morrow
wee
will
come
out
vnto
you,
and
ye
shall
doe
with
vs
all
that
seemeth
good
vnto
you.
11
And
it
was
so
on
the
morrow,
that
Saul
put
the
people
in
three
copanies,
and
they
came
into
the
midst
of
the
host
in
the
morning
watch,
and
slewe
the
Ammonites,
vntill
the
heat
of
the
day:
and
it
came
to
passe,
that
they
which
remained
were
scattered,
so
that
two
of
them
were
not
left
together.
12
And
the
people
said
vnto
Samuel,
Who
is
he
that
said,
Shall
Saul
reigne
ouer
vs?
bring
the
men,
that
we
may
put
them
to
death.
13
And
Saul
said,
There
shall
not
a
man
be
put
to
death
this
day:
for
to
day
the
Lord
hath
wrought
saluation
in
Israel.
14
Then
said
Samuel
to
the
people,
Come,
and
let
vs
goe
to
Gilgal,
and
renew
the
kingdome
there.
15
And
all
the
people
went
to
Gilgal,
and
there
they
made
Saul
King
before
the
Lord
in
Gilgal:
and
there
they
sacrificed
sacrifices
of
peace
offerings
before
the
Lord:
and
there
Saul
and
all
the
men
of
Israel
reioyced
greatly.
