And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Tomó un par de bueyes y los cortó en pedazos, luego envió los pedazos por todas las regiones de Israel por medio de mensajeros, diciendo: 'Al que no salga a seguir a Saúl y a Samuel, así se hará con sus bueyes.' El temor del SEÑOR vino sobre el pueblo, y todos salieron juntos como uno solo.
Saúl usó una demostración dramática para unir a todo Israel bajo el temor del Señor.
