Chapter 11
2
But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, 'I will make
it
with you on this condition, that I will gouge out the right eye of every one of you, and
thereby
I will inflict a disgrace on all Israel.'
3
So the elders of Jabesh said to him, 'Allow us seven days to send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.'
4
Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and spoke
these
words in the hearing of the people, and all the people raised their voices and wept.
5
Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and Saul said, 'What is
the matter
with the people that they weep?' So they reported to him the words of the men of Jabesh.
