1 Samuel 11
Saul went back to his father’s farm in Gibeah and said nothing about his kingship. No sooner had Saul begun his rul, he found himself under attack.
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.” This was the first of three challenges that Saul faced.
