¶ The people renueth the kyngdome of Saul.
A Nahas the Ammonite came, &abar;d beseged
Iabes in Gilead. And all the
men of Iabes sayde vnto Nahas:
make a couenaunt wyth vs, and
we wylbe thy seruauntes: And
Nahas the Ammonite answered them: In
thys will I make a couenaunt wyth you, yf
I maye thrust out all youre ryght eyes, and
brynge that shame vpon all Israel. To wh&obar;
the elders of Iabes sayd: geue vs seu&ebar; dayes
respite: that we maye sende messengers vnto
all the coastes of Israel. And then yf there
be no man to helpe vs, we wyll come out to
the.
B Then came the messengers to Gibea vnto
Saul, and tolde thys tydynges in the eares
of the people. And all the people lyfte vp
theyr voyces and wept. And beholde, Saul
came folowynge the catell out of the felde, ∧
Saul sayde: what ayleth thys people, that
they wepe? And they tolde hym the tydynges
of the men of Iabes. And the sprete of
God came vpon Saul, when he heard those
tydinges, and he was excedyng angrye, and
toke a yocke of oxen, and hewed them in peces,
∧ sent them thorowe out all the coastes
of Israel by the h&abar;des of messengers, say&ebar;g:
whosoeuer c&obar;meth not forth after Saul and
after Samuel, so shall hys oxen be serued.
And &rhand; the feare of the Lorde fell on the people,
and they cam out as it had bene but one
man.
C And when he note nombred them in Bezek,
the chyldren of Israel were thre hundred
thousande men, and the men of Iuda thirtye
thousande. And they sayde vnto the messengers
þt; cam: so saye vnto the men of Iabes in
Gilead: to morow by that tyme the sonne be
hote, ye shal haue helpe. And the messengers
cam ∧ shewed the men of Iabes, which were
glad. Therfore the men of Iabes sayde: tomorowe
we wyll come out vnto you, and
ye shall do wyth vs all that pleaseth you.
And on the morowe it fortuned, that Saul
put the people in .iij. partes. And they cam in
vpon the host in the mornyng watche, ∧ slue
the Ammonites, vntyll the heat of the daye.
And they that remayned, were skattered: so
þt; two of them were not left together.
D And
the people sayde vnto Samuel: what is he
that darre saye: shall Saul raygne ouer vs?
brynge those men, that we maye slaye them.

And Saul sayde: there shall no m&abar; dye thys
daye, for to daye þe; Lord hathe saued Israel.
Then sayde Samuel vnto the people: come,
that we maye go to Gilgal, and &rhand; renewe
the kyngdome there. And all the people
w&ebar;t to Gilgal, ∧ made Saul kyng there,
before the Lorde in Gilgal. And there they
offered peaceofferynges before the Lorde.
And there Saul and all the m&ebar; of Israel reioysed
excedyngly.
