Saul cuts a yoke of oxen in pieces and sends them throughout the borders of Israel, and counts in Bezek the people who come out

사울이 한 겨리 소의 각을 떠 두루 보내고 나온 백성을 베섹에서 계수함

1 Samuel 11:4–8: the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lift up their voice and weep. Behold, Saul comes following the oxen out of the field; and Saul says, “What ails the people that they weep?” They tell him the words of the men of Jabesh. God’s Spirit comes mightily on Saul when he hears those words, and his anger burns hot. He takes a yoke of oxen and cuts them in pieces, then sends them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of the LORD falls on the people, and they come out as one man. Saul counts them in Bezek; and the children of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
