10 et qui dirent aux Ammonites: Demain nous nous rendrons à vous, et vous nous traiterez comme bon vous semblera.

11 Le lendemain, Saül divisa le peuple en trois corps. Ils pénétrèrent dans le camp des Ammonites à la veille du matin, et ils les battirent jusqu’à la chaleur du jour. Ceux qui échappèrent furent dispersés, et il n’en resta pas deux ensemble.

12 Le peuple dit à Samuel: Qui est-ce qui disait: Saül régnera-t-il sur nous? Livrez ces gens, et nous les ferons mourir.

13 Mais Saül dit: Personne ne sera mis à mort en ce jour, car aujourd’hui l’Éternel a opéré une délivrance en Israël.

14 Et Samuel dit au peuple: Venez, et allons à Guilgal, pour y confirmer la royauté.
