1 Samuel 11
MacArthur has an interesting note on why Judah is mentioned separately - This distinction made between Israel and Judah before the kingdom was divided indicates the book was written after 931 b.c. when the kingdom had been divided. (Borrow MacArthur Study Bible) 1 Samuel 11:9 They said to the messengers who had come, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will have deliverance.' " So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. BGT 1 Samuel 11:9 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις τάδε ἐρεῖτε τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ιαβις αὔριον ὑμῖν ἡ σωτηρία διαθερμάναντος τοῦ ἡλίου καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ιαβις καὶ εὐφράνθησαν KJV 1 Samuel 11:9 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. NET 1 Samuel 11:9 They said to the messengers who had come, "Here's what you should say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: 'Tomorrow deliverance will come to you when the sun is fully up.'" When the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh Gilead, they were happy. CSB 1 Samuel 11:9 He told the messengers who had come, "Tell this to the men of Jabesh-gilead: 'Deliverance will be yours tomorrow by the time the sun is hot.'" So the messengers told the men of Jabesh, and they rejoiced. ESV 1 Samuel 11:9 And they said to the messengers who had come, "Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have salvation.'" When the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh, they were glad. NIV 1 Samuel 11:9 They told the messengers who had come, "Say to the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'By the time the sun is hot tomorrow, you will be delivered.' " When the messengers went and reported this to the men of Jabesh, they were elated. NLT 1 Samuel 11:9 So Saul sent the messengers back to Jabesh-gilead to say, "We will rescue you by noontime tomorrow!" There was great joy throughout the town when that message arrived! NRS 1 Samuel 11:9 They said to the messengers who had come, "Thus shall you say to the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead: 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" When the messengers came and told the inhabitants of Jabesh, they rejoiced. deliverance, Ps 18:17 1 Samuel 11 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries THE "CALVARY" IS ON THE WAY! They said - Who is they? The NLT says "so Saul sent the messengers." I think this is a correct interpretative paraphrase for 3 reasons - (1) 1Sa 11:8 "He" refers to Saul, (2) Lxx has "he said" (eipen - 3rd person singular) which is singular (he) not plural (they) and (3) the "prophecy" of deliverance "by the time the sun is hot" seems to be perfectly fulfilled in 1Sa 11:11 which records the "struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day." If this is indeed a fulfilled prophecy, it supports it was issued by a Spirit controlled man which Saul clearly was at this time. While one might posit this was Samuel, it seems unlikely he is literally giving the commands at this time (albeit he clearly is on the scene). to the messengers who had come, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will have deliverance (teshuah).' - Who is they? This would refer to the unified armed forces. When the sun is hot suggests noon time is when Jabesh-Gilead will be delivered. How could they be so confident? Surely they sense that Yahweh is for them, so who can be against them. Deliverance (teshuah) is translated in Septuagint with soteria meaning deliverance and preservation and speaks of the ultimate coming King Who Zacharias prophesied would bring "Salvation (soteria) FROM OUR ENEMIES, And FROM THE HAND OF ALL WHO HATE US." (Lk 1:71+) So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad - The message to the men contemplating losing their right eyes is good news and presumably well-timed (within the 7 day window they had given Nahash). Stevenson - It is noteworthy that it would be at this same locale on the mountains of Gilboa that Saul would eventually fight his last battle. And when his body is mutilated and hung up on the wall of the city of Beth-shan, it will be men of Jabesh-gilead who will rescue the body and give it a proper burial. Deliverance (08668)(teshuah from yasha' - save, deliver, help) means liberty, welfare, salvation. David used the word salvation to describe the hope and welfare he had in the midst of strife due to his covenant with God (2 Sam. 23:5). God saves communities, as when He promised relief to Jerusalem (Isa. 62:11) as well as individuals (see Mic. 7:7). Gilbrant - Built from the root yāsa, meaning "to save," "to deliver," "to help," teshûʿāh means "help," "deliverance," "salvation." An Arabic cognate means "help" or "support." Teshûʿāh is the result of God's activity on behalf of his people in many different settings, and it refers to deliverance in a general sense as well. The Lord gives deliverance in battles and war (1 Sam. 11:9; 1 Chr. 19:12). He provides the arrow of victory (2 Ki. 13:17). The Lord brings about or grants victory (1 Sam. 11:13; 2 Sam. 23:10, 12; 2 Ki. 5:1; Ps. 144:10). The Hiphil stem stresses the Lord as the source of victory and deliverance. The Lord is the source of victory and help in all spheres of life in general; sometimes it is something experienced presently (Ps. 40:10, 16); sometimes it is a reality to be patiently waited for (119:41, 81). God's help or deliverance can come at anytime (51:14; Jer. 3:23). The author of Proverbs speaks of a deliverance that comes from counsel, indicating a deliverance from foolish actions and works, as well as their consequences (Prov. 11:14). The deliverance provided through wise counselors is applicable in war, government and nearly all other spheres of life. The Lord's end-time actions of salvation and deliverance will come, and the results will be everlasting (Isa. 45:17; 46:13). (Complete Biblical Library) Teshuah - 34x in 32v - deliverance(6), help*(1), salvation(16), victory(11). Jdg. 15:18; 1 Sam. 11:9; 1 Sam. 11:13; 1 Sam. 19:5; 2 Sam. 19:2; 2 Sam. 23:10; 2 Sam. 23:12; 2 Ki. 5:1; 2 Ki. 13:17; 1 Chr. 11:14; 1 Chr. 19:12; 2 Chr. 6:41; Ps. 33:17; Ps. 37:39; Ps. 38:22; Ps. 40:10; Ps. 40:16; Ps. 51:14; Ps. 60:11; Ps. 71:15; Ps. 108:12; Ps. 119:41; Ps. 119:81; Ps. 144:10; Ps. 146:3; Prov. 11:14; Prov. 21:31; Prov. 24:6; Isa. 45:17; Isa. 46:13; Jer. 3:23; Lam. 3:26 1 Samuel 11:10 Then the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you." BGT 1 Samuel 11:10 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες Ιαβις πρὸς Ναας τὸν Αμμανίτην αὔριον ἐξελευσόμεθα πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ποιήσετε ἡμῖν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν KJV 1 Samuel 11:10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you. NET 1 Samuel 11:10 The men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you and you can do with us whatever you wish." CSB 1 Samuel 11:10 Then the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Tomorrow we will come out, and you can do whatever you want to us." ESV 1 Samuel 11:10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will give ourselves up to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you." NIV 1 Samuel 11:10 They said to the Ammonites, "Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever seems good to you." NLT 1 Samuel 11:10 The men of Jabesh then told their enemies, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you can do to us whatever you wish." NRS 1 Samuel 11:10 So the inhabitants of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will give ourselves up to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you." Tomorrow: 1Sa 11:2,3 1 Samuel 11 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries MEN OF JABESH SPREAD DISINFORMATION TO NAHASH Disinformation is false information deliberately spread to deceive people.[1][2][3] Disinformation is the strategic dissemination of false information with the intention to cause public harm. Then - Then marks progression in narrative. The men of Jabesh are buoyed in their spirits and confidence which lead to their audacious maneuver of spreading "disinformation," to Nahash, the serpent! Their cunning was calculated to defeat the "Serpent's" cunning! the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you (Nahash), and you may do to us whatever seems good to you - NIV has an interpretative rendering "Tomorrow we will surrender." (NRS "give ourselves up to you"). That may be what their message conveyed to the crafty "serpent" Nahash and his armies (you is plural in Hebrew), but it was surely calculated to be deceptive because the men of Jabesh had the confident expectation that help was on the way and victory over the enemy was assured! In short, the men of Jabesh now know deliverance is on the horizon and that it would not be just them coming out (and surrendering) to Nahash, but united Israel led by its new commander in chief, King Saul coming forth and defeating Nahash. This statement reminds us of Joshua's plan to deceive (ambush) and defeat Ai (Read Joshua 8:1-8+) Cyril
1 Samuel 11
MacArthur - The process of entering the kingship was the same for both Saul and David: 1) commissioned by the Lord (1Sa 9:1-10:16; 16:1-13); 2) confirmed by military victory (1Sa 10:17-11:11; 16:14-2Sa 1:27); and 3) crowned (1Sa 11:12-15; 2Sa 2:4; 5:3). (Borrow MacArthur Study Bible) There they also offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD - Given the hand of the LORD in the firm establishment of the first human monarchy in Israel, it was only fitting to offer to the LORD Who had orchestrated the entire process. This was a time of thanksgiving for Leviticus 7:13+ says ‘With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of leavened bread. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly - Saul and Israel sensed the fact that Yahweh was now at peace with them, and now the nation was united with the result being great joy, as it always is when we know we are right with our Creator and at unity with our brethren!
