1 Samuel 11:4
Then came the messengers to Gibeah - It does not appear that the people of Jabesh-gilead knew any thing of Saul' s appointment to the kingdom, for the message is not directed to him but to the people.
The people lifted up their voices and wept - They saw no hope of deliverance, and they expected that their reproach would be laid on all Israel.
