⁷ He took a pair of oxen,^(A) cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by messengers throughout Israel,^(B) proclaiming, “This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone^(C) who does not follow Saul and Samuel.” Then the terror of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out together as one.^(D)

¹⁴ They destroyed all the villages around Gerar, for the terror^(A) of the Lord had fallen on them. They looted all these villages, since there was much plunder there.

¹⁰ The fear^(A) of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not go to war against Jehoshaphat.

⁷ Now let the fear of the Lord be on you. Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice^(A) or partiality^(B) or bribery.”
