1 Samuel 11:10

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

1 Samuel 11:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 11:10

Therefore the men of Jabesh said
To Nahash the Ammonite:

tomorrow we will come out unto you;
meaning if they had no help, which they were well assured they should have; but this condition they expressed not, which they were not obliged to, but left him to conclude they had no hope of any, the messengers being returned, and the next being the last of the seven days' respite; and by this artifice the Ammonites were secure, and not at all upon their guard against an approaching enemy:

and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you;
make shows of them, pluck out their eyes, or put them to death, or do what they would with them.

1 Samuel 11:10 In-Context

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
