He promised Jehovah that if He gave him the victory, he would offer to Jehovah, as “a burnt offering, ” the first one who came out of his house when he returned home from the battle.
Viņš apsolīja Jehovam, ka uzvaras gadījumā viņš ziedos ” kā dedzināmo upuri ” pirmo, kas iznāks no mājas viņam pretī, kad viņš atgriezīsies no kaujas. ( Soģu 11: 30, 31.)
