1 Samuel 11:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ That night Saul divided his men into three groups, and at dawn the next day they rushed into the enemy camp and attacked the Ammonites. By noon they had slaughtered them. The survivors scattered, each man running off by himself.

¹² Then the people of Israel said to Samuel, “Where are the people who said that Saul should not be our king? Hand them over to us, and we will kill them!”

¹³ But Saul said, “No one will be put to death today, for this is the day the Lord rescued Israel.”
