  10. Josephus, Antiquities, Book 6 • 68 A month later, however, [Saoul's] war against Naas, king of the Ammanites, was the beginning of universal honor for him. For this king had inflicted many calamities on those Judeans living across the Jordan river, invading them with a large and bellicose army. • 69 He reduced their cities to slavery, subduing them for the present by strength and violence. Moreover, by his astuteness and cunning, he weakened them so that they would be unable thereafter to escape from their slavery to him by revolting. For he cut out the right eyes of those who surrendered to him under oath and those whom he took by the law of war. • 70 He did this, so that, when their left eye was covered by their shields, they would be completely helpless.
