Saul summons all Israel

5And behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the cattle, and Saul said, “What is wrong with the people, that they are weeping?” And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.

6And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger burned greatly.

7Then he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, “Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” Then the dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
