1 Samuel 11
The king of the Ammonites has laid siege to the Israelite town of Jabesh. Teh Ammonites will allow the surrender of the town on condition that they allow the Ammonites to gouge out the eye of everyone in the city, This would bring disgrace on the whole of Israel who can't protect their own relatives.
Jabesh requests 3 days for Israel to come to their rescue, if nobody comes forward to save them, they will surrender.
When Saul hears about this outrage, the Spirit og God came down on him he is incensed and roused the whole of Israel to defend Jabesh.
With an army numbering 330,000 soldiers he divided his army into 3 divisions and attack the Ammonites.
They scatter the Ammonites completely so that no 2 soldiers are together.
The trouble makers who asked "Should Saul rule over us" very nearly end up in very hot water, but Saul spares their lives saying that God has rescued Israel on that day.
Israel returned to Gilgal and Saul was unanimously proclaimed king.
