1 Samuel 11:6

⁶The Spirit of God came on Saul when he heard the report and he flew into a rage.

1 Samuel 11 records Saul's first major military victory, solidifying his kingship. When the Ammonites besiege Jabesh-gilead and demand a brutal surrender, the people cry out for help. Saul, empowered by the Spirit of God, rallies Israel's tribes, decisively defeats the Ammonites, and demonstrates his leadership. This triumph silences his critics and leads to a renewal of the kingship at Gilgal, confirming God's choice and the people's acceptance of Saul.
