The Kingdom Is Renewed
12 Then the people said to Samuel, ch. 10:27"Who is it that said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ [Luke 19:27]Bring the men, that we may put them to death." 13 But Saul said, 2 Sam. 19:22"Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today [ch. 19:5;Ex. 14:13] the Lord has worked ver. 9salvation in Israel." 14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingdom." 15 So all the people went to ch. 10:8Gilgal, and there they made Saul king ch. 15:33;[ch. 10:17;Judg. 11:11] before the Lord in Gilgal. There ch. 10:8they sacrificed peace offerings before the Lord, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
