1 Samuel 11:11-13 ▼

11 The next day, Saul arranged his troops in three companies and invaded the camp during the dawn watch. They slaughtered Ammonites until the day had gotten hot; by then the survivors were so scattered that no two of them were left together.

12 The people then said to Samuel: “Who questioned whether Saul should rule over us? Hand them over and we will put them to death.”

13 But Saul objected, “No one will be put to death this day, for today the LORD has rescued Israel.”
