1 Samuel 11:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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.
6
Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and he became very angry.
7
He then took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent
them
throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, 'Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, the same shall be done to his oxen.' Then the dread of the
Lord
fell on the people, and they came out as one person.
8
He counted them in Bezek; and the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah, thirty thousand.
9
They said to the messengers who had come, 'This is what you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be saved.’?' So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they rejoiced.
10
Then the men of Jabesh said, 'Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.'
11
The next morning Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch, and struck and killed the Ammonites until the heat of the day. And those who survived scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
King James Version
Chapter 11
5
And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
7
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the
Lord
fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
8
And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
11
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
5
Just then Saul was coming in from the field behind his oxen. "What’s the matter with the people? Why are they weeping?" Saul inquired, and they repeated to him the words of the men from Jabesh.
6
When Saul heard these words, the Spirit of God suddenly came powerfully on him, and his anger burned furiously.
7
He took a team of oxen, cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by messengers who said, "This is what will be done to the ox of anyone who doesn’t march behind Saul and Samuel." As a result, the terror of the
Lord
fell on the people, and they went out united.
8
Saul counted them at Bezek. There were three hundred thousand Israelites and thirty thousand men from Judah.
9
He told the messengers who had come, "Tell this to the men of Jabesh-gilead: ‘Deliverance will be yours tomorrow by the time the sun is hot.’" So the messengers told the men of Jabesh, and they rejoiced.
10
Then the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Tomorrow we will come out, and you can do whatever you want to us."
11
The next day Saul organized the troops into three divisions. During the morning watch, they invaded the Ammonite camp and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. There were survivors, but they were so scattered that no two of them were left together.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
5
Saul had been plowing a field with his oxen, and when he returned to town, he asked, 'What’s the matter? Why is everyone crying?' So they told him about the message from Jabesh.
6
Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he became very angry.
7
He took two oxen and cut them into pieces and sent the messengers to carry them throughout Israel with this message: 'This is what will happen to the oxen of anyone who refuses to follow Saul and Samuel into battle!' And the
Lord
made the people afraid of Saul’s anger, and all of them came out together as one.
8
When Saul mobilized them at Bezek, he found that there were 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah.
9
So Saul sent the messengers back to Jabesh-gilead to say, 'We will rescue you by noontime tomorrow!' There was great joy throughout the town when that message arrived!
10
The men of Jabesh then told their enemies, 'Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you can do to us whatever you wish.'
11
But before dawn the next morning, Saul arrived, having divided his army into three detachments. He launched a surprise attack against the Ammonites and slaughtered them the whole morning. The remnant of their army was so badly scattered that no two of them were left together.
