00:01.680 --> 00:05.600
Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and
encamped against Jabesh Gilead.

00:05.920 --> 00:09.420
And all the men of Jabesh said unto
Nahash, Make a covenant with us,

00:09.480 --> 00:10.400
and we will serve thee.

00:10.640 --> 00:14.340
And Nahash the Ammonite answered them,
On this condition will I make a covenant

00:14.340 --> 00:20.620
with you, that I may thrust out all your
right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon

00:20.620 --> 00:21.280
all Israel.

00:21.660 --> 00:26.020
And the elders of Jabesh said unto him,
Give us seven days' respite, that we may

00:26.020 --> 00:28.120
send messengers unto all the coasts of
Israel.

00:28.120 --> 00:32.120
And then, if there be no man to save us,
we will come out to thee.

00:32.520 --> 00:36.240
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of
Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of

00:36.240 --> 00:36.600
the people.

00:36.980 --> 00:39.160
And all the people lifted up their voices
and wept.

00:39.640 --> 00:42.240
And, behold, Saul came after the herd out
of the field.

00:42.740 --> 00:45.560
And Saul said, What aileth the people that
they weep?

00:45.820 --> 00:47.820
And they told him the tidings of the men
of Jabesh.

00:48.440 --> 00:53.040
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when
he heard those tidings, and his anger was

00:53.040 --> 00:53.820
kindled greatly.

00:54.260 --> 00:58.300
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them
in pieces, and sent them throughout all

00:58.300 --> 01:02.200
the coasts of Israel by the hands of
messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not

01:02.200 --> 01:06.180
forth after Saul and after Samuel,
so shall it be done unto his oxen.

01:06.440 --> 01:09.500
And the fear of the Lord fell on the
people, and they came out with one

01:09.500 --> 01:09.940
consent.

01:10.540 --> 01:13.940
And when he numbered them in Bezek,
the children of Israel were three hundred

01:13.940 --> 01:16.620
thousand, and the men of Judah thirty
thousand.

01:17.220 --> 01:21.200
And they said unto the messengers that
came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of

01:21.200 --> 01:26.180
Jabesh Gilead, Tomorrow, by that time the
sun be hot, ye shall have help.

01:26.180 --> 01:29.800
And the messengers came and showed it to
the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.

01:30.600 --> 01:34.100
Therefore the men of Jabesh said,
Tomorrow we will come out unto you,

01:34.540 --> 01:37.520
and ye shall do with us all that seemeth
good unto you.

01:37.760 --> 01:40.900
And it was so on the morrow that Saul put
the people in three companies,

01:41.260 --> 01:45.000
and they came into the midst of the host
in the morning watch, and slew the

01:45.000 --> 01:46.420
Ammonites until the heat of the day.

01:47.000 --> 01:50.700
And it came to pass that they which
remained were scattered, so that two of

01:50.700 --> 01:52.020
them were not left together.

01:52.900 --> 01:57.960
And the people said unto Samuel,
Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over

01:57.960 --> 01:58.260
us?

01:58.580 --> 02:00.940
Bring the men, that we may put them to
death.

02:01.160 --> 02:05.700
And Saul said, There shall not a man be
put to death this day, for today the Lord

02:05.700 --> 02:07.440
hath wrought salvation in Israel.

02:07.720 --> 02:11.520
Then said Samuel to the people,
Come, and let us go to Gilgal,

02:11.680 --> 02:13.080
and renew the kingdom there.

02:13.280 --> 02:17.160
And all the people went to Gilgal,
and there they made Saul king before the

02:17.160 --> 02:17.960
Lord in Gilgal.

02:18.400 --> 02:22.120
And there they sacrificed sacrifices of
peace offerings before the Lord.

02:22.120 --> 02:25.700
And there Saul and all the men of Israel
rejoiced greatly.
