And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day — Saul shows magnanimity and political wisdom by refusing to execute the dissenters. The phrase 'this day' (hayom) suggests that Saul focuses on celebration of victory, not punishment of critics. for the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel — Saul attributes the victory to divine action, not to his own military prowess. The word 'wrought' (asah) and 'salvation' (yeshuah) connect the battle to God's saving purpose. This theological perspective prevents Saul from arrogance.
