11. The next morning Saul divided his soldiers into three groups. At dawn they entered the Ammonite camp. And they defeated the Ammonites before the heat of the day. The Ammonites who were left alive were scattered. Not even two of them were still together.
12. Then the people said to Samuel, “Who was it that didn’t want Saul as king? Bring them here, and we will kill them!”
13. But Saul said, “No! No one will be put to death today. The Lord has saved Israel today!”
14. Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let’s go to Gilgal. At Gilgal we will again promise to obey the king.”
15. All the people went to Gilgal. And there, before the Lord, the people made Saul king. They offered fellowship offerings to the Lord. Saul and all the Israelites had a great celebration.
