10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you.”
11 So it was, on the next day, that aSaul put the people bin three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and killed Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it happened that those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12 Then the people said to Samuel, a“Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ bBring the men, that we may put them to death.”
13 But Saul said, a“Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today bthe Lord has accomplished salvation in Israel.”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go ato Gilgal and renew the kingdom there.”
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king abefore the Lord in Gilgal. bThere they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
