1 Samuel 11:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ Some of the messengers went to Gibeah, Saul's hometown. They told what was happening at Jabesh, and everyone in Gibeah started crying. ⁵ Just then, Saul came in from the fields, walking behind his oxen.

“Why is everyone crying?” Saul asked.

They told him what the men from Jabesh had said. ⁶ Then the Spirit of God suddenly took control of Saul and made him furious.
