1 Samuel 11:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² But he answered, “I will make a treaty with you. But I will only do it if I’m allowed to tear out the right eye of each of you. Then all Israel will be ashamed!”

³ The elders of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Let us have seven days. We will send messengers through all Israel. If no one comes to help us, we will give ourselves up to you.”

⁴ The messengers came to Gibeah where Saul lived. When they told the people the news, the people cried loudly.
