1 Samuel 11:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ The next day Saul organized his troops into three formations. They attacked the Ammonite camp during the morning watch and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. The survivors were so scattered that not even two of them could be found together.

¹² Then people asked Samuel, “Who was it who said, ‘Will Saul rule over us?’ Give us those people; we’ll kill them!”

¹³ But Saul said, “No one will be executed because today the Lord has saved Israel.”
