1 Samuele 11:12-13

12 Il popolo disse a Samuele: "Chi è che diceva: Saul regnerà egli su noi? Dateci quegli uomini e li metteremo a morte".

13 Ma Saul rispose: "Nessuno sarà messo a morte in questo giorno, perché oggi l’Eterno ha operato una liberazione in Israele".

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 11

This chapter relates the distress the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead were in on account of the Ammonites, 1Sa 11:1-3 upon which they sent messengers to Saul, whose spirit was immediately stirred up to help them, 1Sa 11:4-6, and prepared for it, and came up soon enough for their relief, and slew their enemies, 1Sa 11:7-11, which gained him much honour and reputation among the people, and occasioned the renewal of the kingdom to him, 1Sa 11:12-15.
