And it was H1961 W-VQY3MS [ so ] on the morrow H4283 , that Saul H7586 put H7760 W-VQY3MS the people H5971 in three H7969 NFS companies H7218 NMP ; and they came H935 W-VQY3MP into the midst H8432 of the host H4264 in the morning H1242 watch H821 , and slew H5221 W-VHY3MP the Ammonites H5983 until H5704 PREP the heat H2527 NMS of the day H3117 D-AMS : and it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that they which remained H7604 were scattered H6327 , so that two H8147 ONUM of them were not H3808 W-NPAR left H7604 together H3162 ADV .
And the people H5971 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Samuel H8050 , Who H4310 IPRO [ is ] he that said H559 W-VQY3MS , Shall Saul H7586 reign H4427 over H5921 PREP-1MP us ? bring H5414 the men H376 D-NMP , that we may put them to death H4191 .
And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS , There shall not H3808 ADV a man H376 NMS be put to death H4191 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 B-AMS : for H3588 CONJ today H3117 D-AMS the LORD H3068 EDS hath wrought H6213 VQQ3MS salvation H8668 in Israel H3478 .
