Verse 6 is found in chapter 11 of 1 Samuel. The Spirit of God comes upon Saul when he hears the news from Jabesh, and his reaction transforms fear into military mobilization. Saul gathers Israel and organizes an attack that defeats the Ammonites. The victory shows a positive expression of his leadership: he initially seeks not his own glory, but responds to a threat against an Israelite city. The collective action of the tribes also confirms that monarchy can function as an instrument of national unity during a specific crisis.
