4. When the messengers arrived at Gibeah of Saul and reported the news in the people’s hearing, they all wept aloud.
5. Just then Saul came in from the field, behind his oxen. “Why are the people weeping?” he asked. They repeated the message of the inhabitants of Jabesh for him.
6. As he listened to this report, the spirit of God rushed upon him and he became very angry.
