1 Samuel 11:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ The messengers arrived at Gibeah, where Saul lived, and when they told the news, the people started crying in despair. ⁵ Saul was just then coming in from the field with his oxen, and he asked, “What's wrong? Why is everyone crying?” They told him what the messengers from Jabesh had reported. ⁶ When Saul heard this, the spirit of God took control of him, and he became furious.
