Context of 1 Samuel 11:10

8They met together at Bezek. Saul counted 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah. 9Saul said to the men who had brought the news from Jabesh, ‘Return to Jabesh. Tell the people, “We will come to rescue you tomorrow, before midday.” ’ So the men took the message to the people in Jabesh. The people were very happy. The men there said to Nahash, ‘Tomorrow we will come out of the town to you. Then you can do anything that you want to us.’ 11Early the next day, Saul put his soldiers into three groups. At dawn, they attacked the camp of the Ammonite soldiers. The Israelite soldiers continued to kill the Ammonites until midday. The Ammonite soldiers who were still alive ran away in different directions. Each man ran off by himself. 12The Israelite people said to Samuel, ‘Bring to us those men who said, “We do not want Saul to rule over us.” We must kill them!’
