1 Samuel11:13
13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel .
I will not destroy any of those whom God hath so graciously preserved; nor sully the mirth of this glorious and comfortable Day with the slaughter of any of my Subjects: and therefore I freely forgive them. Wherein Saul shewed his Policy as well as his Clemency, this being the most likely way to gain his Enemies, and secure his Friends, and stablish his Throne in the hearts of his People.
