1 Samuel 11:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 11
3 Les anciens de Jabès lui dirent: Accorde-nous une trêve de sept jours, afin que nous envoyions des messagers dans tout le territoire d’Israël; et s’il n’y a personne qui nous secoure, nous nous rendrons à toi.
4 Les messagers arrivèrent à Guibea de Saül, et dirent ces choses aux oreilles du peuple. Et tout le peuple éleva la voix, et pleura.
5 Et voici, Saül revenait des champs, derrière ses bœufs, et il dit: Qu’a donc le peuple pour pleurer? On lui raconta ce qu’avaient dit ceux de Jabès.
6 Dès que Saül eut entendu ces choses, il fut saisi par l’esprit de Dieu, et sa colère s’enflamma fortement.
7 Il prit une paire de bœufs, et les coupa en morceaux, qu’il envoya par les messagers dans tout le territoire d’Israël, en disant: Quiconque ne marchera pas à la suite de Saül et de Samuel, aura ses bœufs traités de la même manière. La terreur de l’Éternel s’empara du peuple, qui se mit en marche comme un seul homme.
