1 Samuel 11:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ So they told the Ammonites, “We will surrender to you tomorrow, and then you can do whatever you want to.”

¹¹ The next day, Saul divided his army into three groups and attacked before daylight. They started killing Ammonites and kept it up until afternoon. A few Ammonites managed to escape, but they were scattered far from each other.

¹² The Israelite soldiers went to Samuel and demanded, “Where are the men who said they didn't want Saul to be king? Bring them to us, and we will put them to death!”
