And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et dixerunt nuntiis qui venerant : Sic dicetis viris qui sunt in Jabes Galaad : Cras erit vobis salus, cum incaluerit sol. Venerunt ergo nuntii, et annuntiaverunt viris Jabes : qui lætati sunt.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις Τάδε ἐρεῖτε τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ἰαβείς Αὔριον ὑμῖν ἡ σωτηρία διαθερμάναντος τοῦ ἡλίου. καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ἰαβείς, καὶ εὐφράνθησαν.

Haydock's commentary
Hot. Josephus says, Saul "being seized with the divine spirit, ordered them to inform the citizens of Jabes, that he would come to their assistance on the third day, and rout the enemy before the sun arose." But the message of which the Scripture here speaks, (Haydock) was sent from Bezec. Saul, in effect, came upon the Ammonites unawares before it was light, gained a complete victory, (Calmet) and then pursued the fugitives till noon.
