1 Samuel 11:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ And behold, Saul came following the cattle out of the field. And Saul said, “What ails the people, so that they weep?” And they told him the news of the men of Jabesh.

⁶ Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard that news. And he was exceedingly angry

⁷ and took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territories of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever does not come forth with Saul, and with Samuel, so shall his oxen be served.” And the fear of the LORD fell on the people; and they came out as one man.
