1 Samuel 11:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The messengers came to Gibeah of Saul. They reported to the people the terms Nahash had required. Then all the people wept out loud. ⁵ Just then Saul was coming in from the fields. He was walking behind his oxen. He asked, “What’s wrong with everyone? Why are they weeping?” He was told what the men of Jabesh had said.

⁶ When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God came powerfully on him. He became very angry.
