Today: [1 Samuel Chapter Eleven]: If Thy Right Eye Offend Thee… In this chapter we find Saul is ordained by Samuel and immediately faces an Ammonite warlord. This man’s name is Nahash which means “serpent”. He threatens to pluck out the right eyes of the men of Jabesh. Before the deed is done Saul as the captain of the Host comes to deliver the city. We see in this passage a deeper meaning of the words of Jesus in Matthew 5 about “plucking out” your right eye if it offends you.
