In a moment of desperation, the Israelites communicate their intention to surrender to the Ammonites, feeling overwhelmed by their adversaries. This situation underscores a period of fear and vulnerability among the people of Israel. However, it is also a pivotal moment that precedes divine intervention. Saul, who had recently been anointed as king, would soon rise to the occasion, rallying the Israelites and leading them to a significant victory over the Ammonites. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder that even when circumstances appear bleak and surrender seems inevitable, there is always room for hope and divine intervention. It encourages believers to maintain faith and trust in God's ability to bring about deliverance and transformation, regardless of the challenges they face. This story illustrates the importance of leadership, courage, and faith in overcoming adversity and achieving victory.
They said to the Ammonites, "Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever you like."
1 Samuel 11:10
