‏ 1 Samuel 11:14-15

11:14  a renew the kingdom: “Renew” indicates that someone or something had deteriorated or had been damaged (cp. Ps 51:10  b). Whatever effect the scoundrels (1 Sam 10:27  c; 11:12  d) might have had in undermining the people’s confidence was now rectified by Saul’s victory over the Ammonites.
11:15  e The solemn ceremony before the Lord acknowledged Saul’s sovereignty as king while affirming that the Lord was Israel’s true King.

• Peace offerings were common on historic occasions that inaugurated important institutions (see Exod 24:5  f; Lev 9:4  g, 18  h, 22  i; 1 Kgs 8:63-64  j).
