Saul himself went home to Gibeah with these valiant men whose hearts God had touched. (1 Samuel 10, 26)
One month later, Nahash the Ammonite went to Jabesh-gilead and surrounded the city. The people of Jabesh told Nahash, "Make an agreement with us and we will serve you." (1 Samuel 11, 1)
The elders of Jabesh then told him, "Give us seven days so we may send messengers through all the territories of Israel. If none of them comes to save us, we will surrender to you." (1 Samuel 11, 3)
So the messengers went to Gibeah of Saul, breaking the news to the people. And all the people wept aloud. (1 Samuel 11, 4)
Just then Saul came from the field with his oxen. He asked, "What has happened to make the people weep?" And they told him what the men of Jabesh had said. (1 Samuel 11, 5)
He took a yoke of oxen, cut them into pieces and gave them to the messengers to be taken through all the territories of Israel with this warning, "I will do the same with the oxen of anyone who does not come out after Saul and Samuel." Then a holy fear came upon the people and they set out as one man. (1 Samuel 11, 7)
And they sent the messengers with this answer to the people of Jabesh, "Tomorrow, by noontime, we shall come to you." When the messengers returned, the people of Jabesh were very comforted (1 Samuel 11, 9)
The following morning, Saul divided the people into three groups. They broke into the enemy camp early in the morning and slew the Ammonites until noontime. Those who could escape were scattered, each one running his own way. (1 Samuel 11, 11)
Then the people asked Samuel, "Who are these who said: Saul will never reign over us? Bring the men and we shall put them to death." (1 Samuel 11, 12)
Samuel spoke to the Israelites, "Listen, I have paid attention to all that you have told me and have given you a king. (1 Samuel 12, 1)
Now, I am here. Answer me before Yahweh and his anointed: Whose ox have I taken? Whose ass have I stolen? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? Have I taken a bribe from anyone? If so, tell me, and I will restore it to you." (1 Samuel 12, 3)
But they said, "You have not cheated or oppressed us; you have not stolen anything from anyone." (1 Samuel 12, 4)
