1 Samuel 11
13 Ref And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.
14 Ref Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.
15 Ref So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.
