EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ They met together at Bezek. Saul counted 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah.^[a]

⁹ Saul said to the men who had brought the news from Jabesh, ‘Return to Jabesh. Tell the people, “We will come to rescue you tomorrow, before midday.” ’

So the men took the message to the people in Jabesh. The people were very happy. ¹⁰ The men there said to Nahash, ‘Tomorrow we will come out of the town to you. Then you can do anything that you want to us.’
