1 Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh in Gilead. The men of Jabesh said to Nahash: »Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.«
2 Nahash answered: »I will make a treaty with you on one condition. I will put out everyone’s right eye and so bring disgrace on all Israel.«
3 The elders of Jabesh said: »Give us seven days to send messengers throughout the land of Israel. If no one will help us, then we will surrender to you.«
