Keesokan harinya Saul membagi rakyat itu menjadi tiga pasukan. Mereka itu masuk ke tengah-tengah perkemahan musuh pada waktu kawal pagi dan memukul kalah orang-orang Amon sebelum hari panas; dan terserak-seraklah orang-orang yang lolos itu, sehingga di antara mereka tidak ada tinggal dua orang bersama-sama.
Hata, maka pada keesokan harinya dibahagi Saul akan orang banyak itu menjadi tiga pasukan, lalu masuklah mereka itu ke dalam tentara musuh, pada ketika kawal dini hari, maka diparangnya akan orang Ammon sampai hari panas terik, bahwasanya tercerai-berailah segala orang sisanya, sehingga dari padanya dua orang juapun tiada tinggal bersama-sama.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it was so on the morrow,.... After the messengers were returned, and delivered their message, and the men of Jabeshgilead had given the Ammonites reason to expect that they would come out to them according to their agreement:
that Saul put the people into three companies; or "heads" a, under so many commanders, assigning to each their number, if equally, 110,000 in each, as Gideon divided his three hundred into three companies, one hundred in each, Judges 7:16 and Abimelech, Judges 9:43 it seems to have been their way of fighting in those days:
and they came unto the midst of the host: that is, of the Ammonites:
in the morning watch; the third and last watch of the night, by break of day, or before, however before the sun was up; so quick was Saul and his men in their march, though on foot. Bunting b computes the distance from Gibeah to Bezek forty miles, and from thence to Jabesh sixteen; it is commonly reckoned that it was about sixty miles from Gibeah to Jabesh. Josephus c says it was ten "schaeni", each of which contained five or six miles:
and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day; that is, till noon, so that from the morning watch till noon he was making slaughter of them:
and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered; those that were not cut off by the sword of Saul were broken and dispersed, they could not stand their ground against him:
so that two of them were not left together; to flee together, but every one shifted for himself, and fled alone.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The march from Bezek may have begun the night before. This disposition of the forces “in three companies” (imitating Gideon’s strategy, compare the marginal reference.) would not have been made until the morning when they were very near the Ammonitish forces. “The morning watch” was the last of the three watches, of four hours each, into which the night was anciently divided by the Hebrews. (See Judges 7:19 note.) The time thus indicated would be between two and six in the morning.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 11:11. Put the people in three companies — Intending to attack the Ammonites in three different points, and to give his own men more room to act.
In the morning watch — He probably began his march in the evening, passed Jordan in the night, and reached the camp of the Ammonites by daybreak.
That two of them were not left together. — This proves that the rout was complete.
