1st Samuel Chapter 11 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then Nahash <H5176> the Ammonite <H5984> came up, <H5927> and encamped <H2583> against Jabeshgilead: <H3003> <H1568> and all the men <H0582> of Jabesh <H3003> said <H0559> unto Nahash, <H5176> Make <H3772> a covenant <H1285> with us, and we will serve <H5647> thee.
2: And Nahash <H5176> the Ammonite <H5984> answered <H0559> them, On this <H2063> [condition] will I make <H3772> [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out <H5365> all your right <H3225> eyes, <H5869> and lay <H7760> it [for] a reproach <H2781> upon all Israel. <H3478>
3: And the elders <H2205> of Jabesh <H3003> said <H0559> unto him, Give us seven <H7651> days' <H3117> respite, <H7503> that we may send <H7971> messengers <H4397> unto all the coasts <H1366> of Israel: <H3478> and then, if [there be] no man to save <H3467> us, we will come out <H3318> to thee.
4: Then came <H0935> the messengers <H4397> to Gibeah <H1390> of Saul, <H7586> and told <H1696> the tidings <H1697> in the ears <H0241> of the people: <H5971> and all the people <H5971> lifted up <H5375> their voices, <H6963> and wept. <H1058>
5: And, behold, Saul <H7586> came <H0935> after <H0310> the herd <H1241> out of the field; <H7704> and Saul <H7586> said, <H0559> What [aileth] the people <H5971> that they weep? <H1058> And they told <H5608> him the tidings <H1697> of the men <H0582> of Jabesh. <H3003>
6: And the Spirit <H7307> of God <H0430> came <H6743> upon Saul <H7586> when he heard <H8085> those tidings, <H1697> and his anger <H0639> was kindled <H2734> greatly. <H3966>
7: And he took <H3947> a yoke <H6776> of oxen, <H1241> and hewed them in pieces, <H5408> and sent <H7971> [them] throughout all the coasts <H1366> of Israel <H3478> by the hands <H3027> of messengers, <H4397> saying, <H0559> Whosoever cometh not forth <H3318> after <H0310> Saul <H7586> and after <H0310> Samuel, <H8050> so shall it be done <H6213> unto his oxen. <H1241> And the fear <H6343> of the LORD <H3068> fell <H5307> on the people, <H5971> and they came out <H3318> with one <H0259> consent. <H0376>
8: And when he numbered <H6485> them in Bezek, <H0966> the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> were three <H7969> hundred <H3967> thousand, <H0505> and the men <H0376> of Judah <H3063> thirty <H7970> thousand. <H0505>
9: And they said <H0559> unto the messengers <H4397> that came, <H0935> Thus shall ye say <H0559> unto the men <H0376> of Jabeshgilead, <H3003> <H1568> To morrow, <H4279> by [that time] the sun <H8121> be hot, <H2527> ye shall have help. <H8668> And the messengers <H4397> came <H0935> and shewed <H5046> [it] to the men <H0582> of Jabesh; <H3003> and they were glad. <H8055>
10: Therefore the men <H0582> of Jabesh <H3003> said, <H0559> To morrow <H4279> we will come out <H3318> unto you, and ye shall do <H6213> with us all that seemeth <H5869> good <H2896> unto you.
11: And it was [so] on the morrow, <H4283> that Saul <H7586> put <H7760> the people <H5971> in three <H7969> companies; <H7218> and they came <H0935> into the midst <H8432> of the host <H4264> in the morning <H1242> watch, <H0821> and slew <H5221> the Ammonites <H5983> until the heat <H2527> of the day: <H3117> and it came to pass, that they which remained <H7604> were scattered, <H6327> so that two <H8147> of them were not left <H7604> together. <H3162>
12: And the people <H5971> said <H0559> unto Samuel, <H8050> Who [is] he that said, <H0559> Shall Saul <H7586> reign <H4427> over us? bring <H5414> the men, <H0582> that we may put them to death. <H4191>
13: And Saul <H7586> said, <H0559> There shall not a man <H0376> be put to death <H4191> this day: <H3117> for to day <H3117> the LORD <H3068> hath wrought <H6213> salvation <H8668> in Israel. <H3478>
14: Then said <H0559> Samuel <H8050> to the people, <H5971> Come, <H3212> and let us go <H3212> to Gilgal, <H1537> and renew <H2318> the kingdom <H4410> there.
15: And all the people <H5971> went <H3212> to Gilgal; <H1537> and there they made Saul <H7586> king <H4427> before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> in Gilgal; <H1537> and there they sacrificed <H2076> sacrifices <H2077> of peace offerings <H8002> before <H6440> the LORD; <H3068> and there Saul <H7586> and all the men <H0582> of Israel <H3478> rejoiced <H8055> greatly. <H3966>
