Text

1	Then Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh-gilead, and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”
2	But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make a treaty with you, that I gouge out all your right eyes, and thus bring disgrace on all Israel.”
3	The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days respite that we may send messengers through all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will give ourselves up to you.”
4	When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, they reported the matter in the ears of the people, and all the people wept aloud.
5	Now, behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen. And Saul said, “What is wrong with the people, that they are weeping?” So they told him the news of the men of Jabesh.
6	And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled.
7	He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!” Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people, and they came out as one man.
8	When he mustered them at Bezek, the people of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9	And they said to the messengers who had come, “Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'“When the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh, they were glad.
10	Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will give ourselves up to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.”
11	And the next day Saul put the people in three companies. And they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. And those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12	Then the people said to Samuel, “Who is it that said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death.”
13	But Saul said, “Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has worked salvation in Israel.”
14	Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingdom.”
15	So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

NIV

1	Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will be subject to you.”
2	But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel.”
3	The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days so we can send messengers throughout Israel; if no one comes to rescue us, we will surrender to you.”
4	When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and reported these terms to the people, they all wept aloud.
5	Just then Saul was returning from the fields, behind his oxen, and he asked, “What is wrong with the people? Why are they weeping?” Then they repeated to him what the men of Jabesh had said.
6	When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he burned with anger.
7	He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by messengers throughout Israel, proclaiming, “This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel.” Then the terror of the LORD fell on the people, and they turned out as one man.
8	When Saul mustered them at Bezek, the men of Israel numbered three hundred thousand and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9	They told the messengers who had come, “Say to the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'By the time the sun is hot tomorrow, you will be delivered.'” When the messengers went and reported this to the men of Jabesh, they were elated.
10	They said to the Ammonites, “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever seems good to you.”
11	The next day Saul separated his men into three divisions; during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12	The people then said to Samuel, “Who was it that asked, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring these men to us and we will put them to death.”
13	But Saul said, “No one shall be put to death today, for this day the LORD has rescued Israel.”
14	Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and there reaffirm the kingship.”
15	So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the LORD. There they sacrificed fellowship offerings before the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration.

NLT

1	About a month later, King Nahash of Ammon led his army against the Israelite town of Jabesh-gilead. But all the citizens of Jabesh asked for peace. “Make a treaty with us, and we will be your servants,” they pleaded.
2	“All right,” Nahash said, “but only on one condition. I will gouge out the right eye of every one of you as a disgrace to all Israel!”
3	“Give us seven days to send messengers throughout Israel!” replied the elders of Jabesh. “If no one comes to save us, we will agree to your terms.”
4	When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the people about their plight, everyone broke into tears.
5	Saul had been plowing a field with his oxen, and when he returned to town, he asked, “What's the matter? Why is everyone crying?” So they told him about the message from Jabesh.
6	Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he became very angry.
7	He took two oxen and cut them into pieces and sent the messengers to carry them throughout Israel with this message: “This is what will happen to the oxen of anyone who refuses to follow Saul and Samuel into battle!” And the LORD made the people afraid of Saul's anger, and all of them came out together as one.
8	When Saul mobilized them at Bezek, he found that there were 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah.
9	So Saul sent the messengers back to Jabesh-gilead to say, “We will rescue you by noontime tomorrow!” There was great joy throughout the town when that message arrived!
10	The men of Jabesh then told their enemies, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you can do to us whatever you wish.”
11	But before dawn the next morning, Saul arrived, having divided his army into three detachments. He launched a surprise attack against the Ammonites and slaughtered them the whole morning. The remnant of their army was so badly scattered that no two of them were left together.
12	Then the people exclaimed to Samuel, “Now where are those men who said, 'Why should Saul rule over us?' Bring them here, and we will kill them!”
13	But Saul replied, “No one will be executed today, for today the LORD has rescued Israel!”
14	Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us all go to Gilgal to renew the kingdom.”
15	So they all went to Gilgal, and in a solemn ceremony before the LORD they made Saul king. Then they offered peace offerings to the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites were filled with joy.

KJV

1	Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2	And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
3	And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
4	Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5	And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6	And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
7	And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto 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 unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10	Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto 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 in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12	And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
13	And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
14	Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
15	And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
