6 E o espírito de Deus arrebatou a Saul em ouvindo estas palavras, e acendeu-se em ira em grande maneira.

7 E tomando um par de bois, cortou-os em peças, e enviou-as por todos os termos de Israel por meio de mensageiros, dizendo: Qualquer um que não sair após Saul e após Samuel, assim será feito a seus bois. E caiu temor do SENHOR sobre o povo,

9 E responderam aos mensageiros que haviam vindo: Assim direis aos de Jabes de Gileade: Amanhã em aquecendo o sol, tereis salvamento. E vieram os mensageiros, e declararam-no aos de Jabes, os quais se alegraram.
