Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
And it was don as aftir a moneþe, Naas of Amon stiede, and bigan to fiyte ayens Jabes of Galaad. And alle þe men of Jabes seiden to Naas, Haue thou vs boundun in pees, and we schulen serue þee.
