1 Samuel 11:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ The next morning Saul divided his soldiers into three groups. At dawn they entered the Ammonite camp and defeated them before the heat of the day. The Ammonites who escaped were scattered; no two of them were still together.

¹² Then the people said to Samuel, “Who didn’t want Saul as king? Bring them here and we will kill them!”

¹³ But Saul said, “No! No one will be put to death today. Today the Lord has saved Israel!”
