Chapter 11 of 1 Samuel narrates the story of Saul's victory over the Ammonites, which were surrounding the city of Jabes-Gilead. Saul leads the tribes of Israel in a successful battle, ensuring the protection of the people of Jabes-Gilead. Below are five verses related to topics covered in this chapter:

Judges 5:8: "They chose new gods; then war was at the gates; not even saw a shield or throws among forty thousand in Israel." This verse describes the situation in Israel before Saul's leadership, where the people had abandoned God and was vulnerable to attacks of enemies.

Deuteronomy 20:1: "When you go out to the war against your enemies, and you see horses, and cars, and a greater people than you, you will not fear them; for the Lord thy God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, is with you . " This verse describes the confidence that the people of Israel must have in God when facing stronger enemies in a battle.

2 Chronicles 32:7: "Be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be amazed from the face of the king of Assyria, nor of the whole crowd with him, because with us there is more than with him." This verse encourages the people of Israel to be strong and brave, trusting that God is by his side.

Psalm 20:7: "Some trust cars and others in horses, but we will mention the name of the Lord our God." This verse talks about the importance of trusting God rather than relying on material resources in times of war.

Proverbs 21:31: "The horse prepares for battle day, but victory comes from the Lord." This verse points out that while it is important to prepare for battle, the final victory comes from God. This applies to Saul's victory over the Ammonites in 1 Samuel 11, where it was God's help that guaranteed the victory.
