1 Samuel 11:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹ They said to the messengers who had come, “This is what you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead: ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be saved.’” So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they rejoiced. ¹⁰ Then the men of Jabesh said, “^(A)Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good ^[a]to you.” ¹¹ The next morning Saul put the people ^(B)in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch, and struck and killed the Ammonites until the heat of the day. And those who survived scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
