4 Then the messengers came to Ramtha of Saul, and told these words before the people; and all the people lifted up their voices and wept. 5 And, behold, Saul was coming behind the oxen from the field; and Saul said, What ails the people that they are weeping? And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh. 6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was kindled greatly. 7 And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whosoever does not follow after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they all came out as one man. 1 Samuel 11:4-7, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
