Saul and his army told the messengers from Jabesh, “Tell the people at Jabesh in Gilead that by noon tomorrow, you will be saved.” The messengers told Saul’s message to the people at Jabesh, and they were very happy.
The king of Israel answered, “Yes, my lord and king, I am yours now, and everything I have belongs to you.”
