1 Samuel 11:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Saul brought his army together at Bezek. There were 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 from Judah.

⁹ The messengers who had come were told, “Go back and report to the men of Jabesh Gilead. Tell them, ‘By the hottest time of the day tomorrow, you will be rescued.’ ” The messengers went and reported it to the men of Jabesh. It made those men very happy. ¹⁰ They said to the people of Ammon, “Tomorrow we’ll hand ourselves over to you. Then you can do to us whatever you like.”
