1 Samuel 11:1-2 ▼

1 Then Nahash [About a month later Nahash] the Ammonite came up and laid siege to Jabesh-gilead (dry) (rocky region). All the men of Jabesh said to him (serpent), “Make a treaty (covenant) with us, and we will serve you.”

2 But Nahash (serpent) the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you⁺ on one condition, that I may put out everyone’s right eye and bring reproach upon all Israel (he wrestles with God).”
