Then the people asked Samuel, “Who was saying, ‘Why should we have Saul as our king?’ Hand these men over so we can execute them.”
You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
And as for my enemies who didn't want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
But some obnoxious men asked, “How could this man save us?” They hated him and didn't bring him any gifts; but Saul did not retaliate.
