Ammonites fighting against Iabes Galaad, and the citie readie to yelde, 5.
Saul gathereth an armie, 11. ouerthroweth the enimie, 14. and is established
King.
1 And it came to passe as it were a moneth after, Naas
the Ammonite ascended, and began to fight against
Iabes of Galaad. And al the men of Iabes sayd to Naas: Make
a league with vs, and we wil serue thee.
2 And Naas the
Ammonite answered them: In this wil I make a league with
you, that I may plucke out the right eyes of you al, and may
make you a reproch in al Israel.
3 And the ancientes of Iabes
sayd to him: Graunt vnto vs seuen daies, that we may send
messengers vnto al the coastes of Israel: and if there shal not
be that may defend vs, we wil come forth to thee.
4 The
messengers therefore came into Gabaa of Saul: and they
spake these wordes, in the hearing of the people: and al the
people lifted vp their voice, and wept.
5 And behold Saul
came, folowing oxen out of the field, and sayd: What ayleth
the people that they weepe? And they told him the wordes
of the men of Iabes.
6 And the Spirit of our Lord seased on
Saul, when he had heard these wordes, and his furie was exceding
wrath.
7 And taking both the oxen, he cutte them
into peeces, and sent them into al the coastes of Israel by messengers,
saying: Whosoeuer shal not goe forth, and folow
Saul and Samuel, so shal it be done to his oxen. Therefore
the feare of our Lord inuaded the people, and they went
forth as it were one man.
8 And he numbered them in Bezec:
and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand:
and of the men of Iuda thirtie thousand.
9 And they
sayd to the messengers that came: Thus shal you say to the

men, that are in Iabes Galaad: To morow, when the sunne
shal waxe hote, you shal haue relife. The messengers therefore
came, and told the men of Iabes: Who were glad.
10 And
they said: In the morning note we wil come forth to you: and
you shal doe to vs whatsoeuer shal please you.
11 And it came
to passe, when the morow was come, Saul sette the people
into three partes: and entered into the middes of the campe
in the morning watch, and stroke Ammon vntil the day
waxed hote, and the rest were dispersed, so that there were
not left among them two together.
12 And the people sayd
to Samuel: Who is this that said: what shal Saul reigne ouer
vs? Geue vs the men and we wil kil them.
13 And Saul sayd:
No man shal be killed this day, because our Lord this day hath
releued Israel:
14 And Samuel said to the people: Come and
let vs goe into Galgal, and let vs renewe there a kingdome.
15 And al the people went into Galgal, and there they made
Saul king before our Lord in Galgal, & they immolated there
pacifique victimes before our Lord. And Saul reioysed there,
and al the men of Israel excedingly.
