Jabesh-gilead — 1 Samuel 11:9–11
And they said unto the messengers that came,
Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To-morrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have deliverance.
And the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
Therefore the men of Jabesh said,
To-morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they that remained were scattered, so that not two of them were left together.
