The need to rescue the city of Jabesh was great.
If the men surrendered, they would not just be subjects to Nahash the Ammonite. They would also be disgraced, buy the gouging of their right eyes. (I'm not sure if I was ever taught this by any Sunday School Teacher on flannel board.)
The need for Saul to lead the cause was greater.
This was his first act as the leader of the nation and we see him in the field working with the oxen. This was the moment where he could display his heart for his people and show that he is a leader worth following. After all, most leadership is established in the fires of life.
"Father, help me lead others today as I follow You."
Heart and Soul,
BAG
