1 Samuel 11:14-15
11:14 Samuel said to the people, “Come on! Let’s go to Gilgal and renew the kingship there.”
11:15 So all the people went to Gilgal, where
they established Saul as king in the
Lord’s presence. They offered up peace offerings there in the
Lord’s presence. Saul and all the Israelites were very happy.
1 Samuel 13:4
13:4 All Israel heard this message,
“Saul has attacked the Philistine outpost, and now Israel is repulsive
to the Philistines!” So the people were summoned to join
Saul at Gilgal.
1 Samuel 13:8-15
13:8 He waited for seven days, the time period indicated by Samuel.
But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the army began to abandon Saul.
13:9 So Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” Then he offered a burnt offering.
13:10 Just when he had finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel appeared on the scene. Saul went out to meet him and to greet him.
13:11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul replied, “When I saw that the army had started to abandon me and that you didn’t come at the appointed time and that the Philistines had assembled at Micmash,
13:12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal and I have not sought the Lord’s favor.’ So I felt obligated to offer the burnt offering.”
13:13 Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have made a foolish choice! You have not obeyed the commandment that the Lord your God gave you. Had you done that, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever!
13:14 But now your kingdom will not continue! The Lord has sought out for himself a man who is loyal to him and the Lord has appointed him to be leader over his people, for you have not obeyed what the Lord commanded you.”
13:15 Then Samuel set out and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. Saul mustered the army that remained with him; there were about six hundred men.
1 Samuel 15:33
15:33 Samuel said, “Just as your sword left women childless, so your mother will be the most bereaved among women!” Then Samuel hacked Agag to pieces there in Gilgal before the
Lord.
