1 Samuel 11:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

⁸ And when he counted them in Bezek, the children of Israel numbered three hundred thousand men, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

⁹ Then they said to the messengers who came, “So say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow by the time the Sun is hot, you shall have help.’” And the messengers came and told it to the men of Jabesh, who were glad.
