Contextual Overview

5 And, behold, Saul came behind the oxen from the field. And Saul said, What is it to the people, that they weep? And they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh. 6 And the Spirit of God came powerfully on Saul when he heard these words, and his anger glowed greatly. 7 And he took the team of oxen and cut them in pieces, and he sent them into all the boundary of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, Whoever does not come out after Saul andafter Samuel, so it shall be done to hisoxen. And the fear of Jehovah fell on the people. And they came out as one man. 8 And he mustered them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah, thirty thousand. 9 And they said to the messengers who came, So you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead. Tomorrow there shall be deliverance for you, in the heat of the sun. And the messengers came and related this to the men of Jabesh; and they rejoiced. 10 And the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you do to us according to all that is good in your eyes. 11 And it happened, on the next day Saul put the people in three heads, and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch and they struck Ammon until the heat of the day. And it was, the ones left were scattered; in them were not two lefttogether.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore the men of Jabesh said,.... To Nahash the Ammonite:

tomorrow we will come out unto you; meaning if they had no help, which they were well assured they should have; but this condition they expressed not, which they were not obliged to, but left him to conclude they had no hope of any, the messengers being returned, and the next being the last of the seven days' respite; and by this artifice the Ammonites were secure, and not at all upon their guard against an approaching enemy:

and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you; make shows of them, pluck out their eyes, or put them to death, or do what they would with them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Tomorrow - Probably the last of the “seven days’ respite” 1 Samuel 11:3. Their words were spoken in guile, to throw the Ammonites off their guard.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 11:10. To-morrow we will come out unto you — They concealed the information they had received of Saul's promised assistance. They did come out unto them; but it was in a different manner to what the Ammonites expected.
