1 Samuel 11:7

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

He took a pair of oxen and cut them in pieces. Then he gave the pieces of the oxen to messengers. He ordered the messengers to carry the pieces throughout the land of Israel. He told them to give this message to the Israelites: “Come follow Saul and Samuel. If anyone doesn’t come and help them, this same thing will happen to his oxen.” A great fear from the Lord came on the people. They all came together like one person.
