4 When the messengers came to Gibeah(A) of Saul and reported these terms to the people, they all wept(B) aloud. 5 Just then Saul was returning from the fields, behind his oxen, and he asked, “What is wrong with everyone? Why are they weeping?” Then they repeated to him what the men of Jabesh had said.
