RF SA1 11:1 (B.C. 1094.) Nakhash. King of Amon, attacks Jabesh in Gilead.
When Nakhash the Amonite came up and besieged Jabesh-Gilad, all the chiefs of Jabesh said to Nakhash the Amonite, Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you."
RF SA1 11:2 But Nakhash the Amonite replied, "This is what I will do to you;—I will put out all your right eyes! and make it a reproach to all Israel."
RF SA1 11:3 Then the magistrates of Jabesh said to him, "Grant us seven days, that we may send Messengers to all the borders of Israel, then, if there is no deliverance for us, we will come out to you."
RF SA1 11:4 Saul is appealed to, to help the Jebusites. He does so.
The Messengers consequently went to Gibeah to Saul, and reported the matter in the hearing of the people, when all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
RF SA1 11:5 But just then Saul came in after his oxen from the farm, and Saul asked, "What is the matter with the people, that they are weeping?" So they repeated the words of the chiefs of Jabesh.
RF SA1 11:6 Then the spirit of GOD seized Saul upon hearing it, and he was very furious,
RF SA1 11:7 and took the pair of oxen and cut them up, and sent to all the districts of Israel by the hands of the Messengers, to say, "Whoever will not come after Saul, and join Samuel, this shall be done to his oxen." The terror of the EVER-LIVING consequently fell upon all the people, and they came like one man.
RF SA1 11:8 (B.C. 1094.) The people rise and join Saul in a Mass.
Then he organized them in Bazek, and there were three hundred thousand men of the Children of Israel, and the men of Judah thirty thousand,
RF SA1 11:9 and they said to the Messengers who had come, "Say thus to the people of Jabesh-Gilad,—' To-morrow we will be with you, to rescue you before the noon.' "The Messengers accordingly went and informed the chiefs of Jabesh, and they were glad.
RF SA1 11:10 So the chiefs of Jabesh said, "To-morrow we will come out to you, and you can do to us what seems good in your eyes!"
RF SA1 11:11 Saul Attacks at night and defeats the Amonites.
In the morning, however, Saul divided his forces into three divisions, and advanced to the centre of the camp in the morning watch, and assailed the Amonites until noon of the day, and they were broken to pieces, and fled, and no two of them held together.
RF SA1 11:12 Then the force asked of Samuel, "Who said Saul should not be Leader over us? Give those men to us that we may kill them."
RF SA1 11:13 Saul, however, replied, "Not a man shall be killed to-day, for to-day the EVER-LIVING has made a great deliverance for Israel."
RF SA1 11:14 And Samuel said to the force, "March! and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the Leadership there."
RF SA1 11:15 (B.C. 1094.) His Army elect Saul again at Gilgal.
All the force accordingly marched to Gilgal, and they elected Saul Leader there before the EVER-LIVING in Gilgal, and sacrificed sacrifices of thanksgiving before the EVER-LIVING, and Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced very greatly.
