于是雅比人对亚扪人说，明日我们出来归顺你们，你们可以随意待我们。
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.
第二日，扫罗将百姓分为三队，在晨更的时候入了亚扪人的营，击杀他们直到太阳近午，剩下的人都逃散，没有二人同在一处的。
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
百姓对撒母耳说，那说扫罗岂能管理我们的是谁呢。可以将他交出来，我们好杀死他。
And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
扫罗说，今日耶和华在以色列中施行拯救，所以不可杀人。
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
撒母耳对百姓说，我们要往吉甲去，在那里立国。
Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
众百姓就到了吉甲那里，在耶和华面前立扫罗为王，又在耶和华面前献平安祭。扫罗和以色列众人大大欢喜。
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
一日，太阳平西，大卫从床上起来，在王宫的平顶上游行，看见一个妇人沭浴，容貌甚美，
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
大卫就差人打听那妇人是谁。有人说，她是以连的女儿，赫人乌利亚的妻拔示巴。
And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
于是她怀了孕，打发人去告诉大卫说，我怀了孕。
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
大卫对乌利亚说，你回家去，洗洗脚吧。乌利亚出了王宫，随后王送他一分食物。
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
