And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Ja´besh–gil´e-ad, Tomorrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
