6And the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tydings, and his anger was kindled greatly. 7And he tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it bee done vnto his oxen: and the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent. 8And when he numbred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Iudah thirty thousand. 9And they said vnto the messengers that came, Thus shall yee say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morrow by that time the sunne be hote, ye shal haue helpe. And the messengers came, and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, and they were glad. 10Therfore the men of Iabesh said, To morrow wee will come out vnto you, and ye shall doe with vs all that seemeth good vnto you.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Samuel 11:8
11:8 Men of Judah - Who are numbered apart to their honour, to shew how readily they, to whom the kingdom was promised, #Gen 49:10|, submitted to their king, though of another tribe; and how willing they were to hazard themselves for their brethren although they might have excused themselves from the necessity of defending their own country from their dangerous neighbours the Philistines.
