Saul slaughters the Ammorites in Battle

When the Spirit of God came upon Saul, he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent the pieces throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers with the message that, “Whosoever does not join with Saul and with Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen.” And the fear of the Lord came upon all the people; and they came out everyone to join with Saul. And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel amounted to three hundred thousand and the men of Judah thirty thousand. And they said to the messengers that came, “Thus shall you say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, tomorrow by the time the sun is hot, you shall have help.”  And the messengers went and carried the message to the men of Jabesh and they were glad. So the men of Jabesh promised to join forces with Saul in the battle of the next day. And King Saul gathered all his army and divided them into three companies and they slaughtered the Ammorites so that at the end of the battle, there could not be found two of them together of those who escaped.
