[:en]The Ammonites went to besiege Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Israel wanted to make treaty with the Ammonites, but the Ammonites refused. So the messengers reported to Saul. The Spirit of God came to Saul in power and all the people gathered together. They fought against the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat pf the day. Samuel called the people to re-affirm the kingship of Saul. All the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the Lord with fellowship offering and a great celebration.[:]
