7 Taking a yoke of oxen, he cut them into pieces and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by messengers saying, “If anyone does not come out to follow Saul and Samuel, the same thing will be done to his oxen!” The dread of the LORD came upon the people and they went forth as one. 8 When Saul reviewed them in Bezek, there were three hundred thousand Israelites and seventy thousand Judahites. 1 Samuel 11:7-8, New American Bible Revised.
