And they told him the news of the men of Jabesh. 6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was greatly kindled. 7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territories of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, "Whosoever does not come after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent. 8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 9 And they said to the messengers that came, "Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have help.'" And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad. 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." 11 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies, and they came into the midst of the host at the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day, and it came to pass that those who remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
