12. Then people asked Samuel, "Who was it who said, ‘Will Saul rule over us?’ Give us those people; we’ll kill them!"
13. But Saul said, "No one will be executed because today the Lord has saved Israel."
14. "Let’s go to Gilgal," Samuel told the people, "and renew the monarchy there."
15. So everyone went to Gilgal, and there at Gilgal they made Saul king in the Lord’s presence. They offered well-being sacrifices in the Lord’s presence, and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration there.
