The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ascendit autem Naas Ammonites et pugnare coepit adversus Iabesgalaad dixeruntque omnes viri Iabes ad Naas habeto nos foederatos et serviemus tibi

2 et respondit ad eos Naas Ammonites in hoc feriam vobiscum foedus ut eruam omnium vestrum oculos dextros ponamque vos obprobrium in universo Israhel

3 et dixerunt ad eum seniores Iabes concede nobis septem dies ut mittamus nuntios in universos terminos Israhel et si non fuerit qui defendat nos egrediemur ad te

4 venerunt ergo nuntii in Gabaath Saulis et locuti sunt verba audiente populo et levavit omnis populus vocem suam et flevit

5 et ecce Saul veniebat sequens boves de agro et ait quid habet populus quod plorat et narraverunt ei verba virorum Iabes

6 et insilivit spiritus Domini in Saul cum audisset verba haec et iratus est furor eius nimis

7 et adsumens utrumque bovem concidit in frusta misitque in omnes terminos Israhel per manum nuntiorum dicens quicumque non exierit secutusque fuerit Saul et Samuhelem sic fiet bubus eius invasit ergo timor Domini populum et egressi sunt quasi vir unus

8 et recensuit eos in Bezec fueruntque filiorum Israhel trecenta milia virorum autem Iuda triginta milia

9 et dixerunt nuntiis qui venerant sic dicetis viris qui sunt in Iabesgalaad cras erit vobis salus cum incaluerit sol venerunt ergo nuntii et adnuntiaverunt viris Iabes qui laetati sunt

10 et dixerunt mane exibimus ad vos et facietis nobis omne quod placuerit vobis

11 et factum est cum venisset dies crastinus constituit Saul populum in tres partes et ingressus est media castra in vigilia matutina et percussit Ammon usque dum incalesceret dies reliqui autem dispersi sunt ita ut non relinquerentur in eis duo pariter

12 et ait populus ad Samuhel quis est iste qui dixit Saul non regnabit super nos date viros et interficiemus eos

13 et ait Saul non occidetur quisquam in die hac quia hodie fecit Dominus salutem in Israhel

14 dixit autem Samuhel ad populum venite et eamus in Galgala et innovemus ibi regnum

15 et perrexit omnis populus in Galgala et fecerunt ibi regem Saul coram Domino in Galgala et immolaverunt ibi victimas pacificas coram Domino et laetatus est ibi Saul et cuncti viri Israhel nimis

Good News Translation GNT

1 About a month later King Nahash of Ammon led his army against the town of Jabesh in the territory of Gilead and besieged it. The men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a treaty with us, and we will accept you as our ruler."

2 Nahash answered, "I will make a treaty with you on one condition: I will put out everyone's right eye and so bring disgrace on all Israel."

3 The leaders of Jabesh said, "Give us seven days to send messengers throughout the land of Israel. If no one will help us, then we will surrender to you."

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.

7 He took two oxen, cut them in pieces, and had messengers carry the pieces throughout the land of Israel with this warning: "Whoever does not follow Saul and Samuel into battle will have this done to his oxen!" The people of Israel were afraid of what the Lord might do, and all of them, without exception, came out together.

8 Saul gathered them at Bezek: there were 300,000 from Israel and 30,000 from Judah.

9 They said to the messengers from Jabesh, "Tell your people that before noon tomorrow they will be rescued." When the people of Jabesh received the message, they were overjoyed

10 and said to Nahash, "Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do with us whatever you wish."

11 That night Saul divided his men into three groups, and at dawn the next day they rushed into the enemy camp and attacked the Ammonites. By noon they had slaughtered them. The survivors scattered, each man running off by himself.

12 Then the people of Israel said to Samuel, "Where are the people who said that Saul should not be our king? Hand them over to us, and we will kill them!"

13 But Saul said, "No one will be put to death today, for this is the day the Lord rescued Israel."

14 And Samuel said to them, "Let us all go to Gilgal and once more proclaim Saul as our king."

15 So they all went to Gilgal, and there at the holy place they proclaimed Saul king. They offered fellowship sacrifices, and Saul and all the people of Israel celebrated the event.
