1 Samuel 11:2

And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this [condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.

And Nahash {H5176} the Ammonite {H5984} answered {H559} them, On this {H2063} condition will I make {H3772} a covenant with you, that I may thrust out {H5365} all your right {H3225} eyes {H5869}, and lay {H7760} it for a reproach {H2781} upon all Israel {H3478}.

Nachash the 'Amoni replied, "I'll do it on this condition: that all your right eyes be gouged out and thus bring disgrace on all of Isra'el."

But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you on one condition, that I may put out everyone’s right eye and bring reproach upon all Israel.”

And Nahash the Ammonite said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
