What does 1 Samuel 11:2 mean?

Nahash the Ammonite replied, 'I'll make a deal with you, but only if I can gouge out the right eye of every one of you. That way, I'll disgrace all Israel.' 1 Samuel 11:2 - Modern Text Bible

(Nahash's terms are cruel—he wants to humiliate the whole nation by maiming its people.)
