1 Samuel 11:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ When the messengers reached Gibeah where Saul lived, they reported the news directly to the people there. Then they all wept aloud. ⁵ At just that moment, Saul was coming back from keeping the cattle in the fields. “What’s wrong with everybody?” he asked. “Why are they crying?” Saul was then told what the men from Jabesh had said.

⁶ God’s spirit came over Saul when he heard those words, and he burned with anger.
