a. 1 Samuel 11:1 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls gifts. Now Nahash king of the Ammonites oppressed the Gadites and Reubenites severely. He gouged out all their right eyes and struck terror and dread in Israel. Not a man remained among the Israelites beyond the Jordan whose right eye was not gouged out by Nahash king of the Ammonites, except that seven thousand men fled from the Ammonites and entered Jabesh Gilead. About a month later, 1 Nahash
2.亞捫人拿轄說：「你們若由我剜出你們各人的右眼，以此凌辱以色列眾人，我就與你們立約。」
But Nahash the Ammonite replied, 「I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel.」
3.雅比的長老對他說：「求你寬容我們七日，等我們打發人往以色列的全境去；若沒有人救我們，我們就出來歸順你。」
The elders of Jabesh said to him, 「Give us seven days so we can send messengers throughout Israel; if no one comes to rescue us, we will surrender to you.」
4.使者到了掃羅住的基比亞，將這話說給百姓聽，百姓就都放聲而哭。
When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and reported these terms to the people, they all wept aloud.
5.掃羅正從田間趕牛回來，問說：「百姓為甚麼哭呢？」眾人將雅比人的話告訴他。
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.
