CHAP. XI.
1 Nahash the Ammonite warreth against Iabesh Gilead, who
asketh helpe of the Israelites. 6 Saul promiseth helpe. 11
The Ammonites are slaine. 14 The kingdome is renued.
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite note came vp, and
besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of
Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with
vs, and we will be thy seruants.
2 And Nahash þe; Ammonite answered them,
On this condition will I make a couenant with
you, that I may thrust out all your note right eies,
and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue
vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers
vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no
man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
4 ¶2; Then came the messengers to Gibeah of
Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the
people: and all the people lift vp their voices and
wept.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell
out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth
this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him
the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
6 Then the Spirit of God note came vpon Saul,
when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding
angrie,
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed
them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the
coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying,
Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul,
and after note Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued.
And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and
they came out note with one consent.
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the
children of Israel were three hundreth thousande
men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
9 Then note they saide vnto the messengers that
came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To
morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue
helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it
to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To
morowe we will come out vnto note you, and yee
shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
11 ¶2; And when the morowe was come, Saul
put the people in three bandes, and they came in
vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe
the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and
they that remained, were scattered, so that two of
them were not left together.
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, note Who
is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring
those men that we may slaie them.
13 But Saul said, There shall no man note die this
day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
14 ¶2; Then saide Samuel vnto þe; people, Come,
that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome
there.
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, & made
Saul King there before the Lorde in Gilgal: and
there they offered note peace offerings before the
Samuels integritie and vprightnesse:
Lorde: and there Saul and all the men of Israel
reioyced exceedingly.
