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 to the messengers that came, thus shall ye say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, To-morrow by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
