Place

Bezek

Approximate location. The area is clear, but the exact site is not.

When the Ammonites camped against Jabesh-gilead, Saul cut a yoke of oxen in pieces and sent them through Israel. The people came out "with one consent", and he numbered them at Bezek before marching to rescue Jabesh. Khirbet Ibziq is the usual proposal for the site.

Who passed through

In story order. King James Version.

  1. Saul (King), 1 Samuel 11:7
    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.
