Do the men of Jabesh-gilead deceive the Ammonites?
1 Samuel 11:10 (NEG79)
10et ils dirent aux Ammonites: Demain nous nous rendrons à vous, et vous nous traiterez comme bon vous semblera.
Confident that their compatriots would come to help them, the men of Jabesh-gilead appeared to promise a surrender.1 The Hebrew, however, simply specifies that they would come out on the morrow, which could also be a warning of a coming battle (see 1 Samuel 8:20).2
10 et ils dirent aux Ammonites: Demain nous nous rendrons à vous, et vous nous traiterez comme bon vous semblera.
