1 Samuel 11:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ But early the next morning Saul arrived, having divided his army into three detachments, and launched a surprise attack against the Ammonites and slaughtered them all morning. The remnant of their army was so badly scattered that no two of them were left together.

¹² Then the people exclaimed to Samuel, “Where are those men who said that Saul shouldn’t be our king? Bring them here and we will kill them!”

¹³ But Saul replied, “No one will be executed today; for today the Lord has rescued Israel!”
