Verse 11
SAUL'S GLORIOUS RESCUE OF JABESH-GILEAD
"And on the morrow Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and cut down the Ammonites until the heat of the day; and those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together."
This victory was of God Himself, as Saul freely admitted, and it was this victory that constituted the third and final phase of Saul's rise to the throne.
The deployment of the forces of Israel in three companies was very similar to the actions of Gideon in Judges 7:16f, as was also their attack in the third watch of the night, between two o'clock and six o'clock in the morning.
