| 2 | Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach on all Israel. | 2Ki 18:31 |
| 3 | The elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days` respite, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there be none to save us, we will come out to you. |
| 4 | Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept. | 1Sa 10:26 1Sa 14:2 1Sa 15:34 2Sa 21:6 |
| 5 | Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, What ails the people that they weep? They told him the words of the men of Jabesh. | 1Sa 9:1 1Ki 19:19 Ps 78:71 |

| 7 | He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever doesn`t come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man. | Jg 19:29 |
| 8 | He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. | Jg 1:4 Jg 1:5 |
| 9 | They said to the messengers who came, Thus shall you tell the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance. The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. | Ps 18:17 |
| 10 | Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you. | 1Sa 11:2 1Sa 11:3 |
| 11 | It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together. | Gn 22:14 Ps 46:1 |
| 12 | The people said to Samuel, Who is he who said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death. | 1Sa 10:27 Ps 21:8 Lk 19:27 |

| 14 | Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. | 1Sa 7:16 1Sa 10:8 |
| 15 | All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace-offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly. | 1Sa 10:17 |
