1 Samuel 11:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ When a messenger came to Gibeah, Saul’s hometown, and told the people about their plight, everyone broke into tears.

⁵ Saul was plowing in the field, 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 strongly upon Saul and he became very angry.
