1 Samuel 11:6-8

English Standard Version

^6 (A)And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled. ⁷ He took a yoke of oxen ^(B)and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, ^(C)“Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!” Then the dread of the Lord fell upon the people, and they came out ^(D)as one man. ⁸ When he mustered them at ^(E)Bezek, ^(F)the people of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
