1 Samuel 11:12-15

The Kingdom Is Renewed

12Then the people said to Samuel, aWho is it that said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ bBring the men, that we may put them to death.” 13But Saul said, cNot a man shall be put to death this day, for today dthe Lord has worked esalvation in Israel.” 14Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingdom.” 15So all the people went to fGilgal, and there they made Saul king gbefore the Lord in Gilgal. There hthey sacrificed peace offerings before the Lord, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
