12. The people said to SAMUEL, "Who is he who said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring those men, that we may put them to death!"

13. Saul said, "No man shall be put to death today; for today the LORD has rescued Israel."

14. Then SAMUEL said to the people, "Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."

15. All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before The LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
