And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the dread of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
And he took euer eiþer oxe, and kittide in to gobetis, and sente in to alle þe termes of Israel, bi þe hondis of messangeris; and seide, Who euer goith not out, and sueth not Saul and Samuel, so it schal be don to hise oxun. Þerfor þe drede of þe Lord asailide þe puple, and þei yeden out as o man.
