1 Samuel 11:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ So the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us what you see fit.”

¹¹ The next day Saul divided his people into three groups. During the morning watch they attacked the camp of the Ammonites and continued to strike them down until the day was hot. Even those who survived were scattered, so that not two of them remained together.

¹² Saul Proclaimed King. The people said to Samuel, “Who is it who asked, ‘Is Saul to reign over us?’ Bring those men out so that we can put them to death.”
