1 Samuel 11:9-15
New King James Version
9 And they said to the messengers who came, “Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have help.’ ” Then the messengers came and reported it to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad. 10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you.”
11 So it was, on the next day, that (A)Saul put the people (B)in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and killed Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it happened that those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12 Then the people said to Samuel, (C)“Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ (D)Bring the men, that we may put them to death.”
13 But Saul said, (E)“Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today (F)the Lord has accomplished salvation in Israel.”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go (G)to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there.” 15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king (H)before the Lord in Gilgal. (I)There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

Sauli Avomerezedwa kukhala mfumu
12 Kenaka anthu anafunsa Samueli kuti, “Kodi ndani aja ankanena kuti, ‘Kodi Sauli nʼkutilamulira ife?’ Bwera nawoni kuno kuti tidzawaphe.”
13 Koma Sauli anati, “Palibe amene ati aphedwe lero, pakuti lero lino Yehova wagwira ntchito yopulumutsa Israeli.”
14 Ndipo Samueli anati kwa anthuwo, “Tiyeni tipite ku Giligala kuti tikatsimikizenso kuti Sauli ndi mfumu yathu.” 15 Choncho anthu onse anapita ku Giligala ndipo kumeneko Samueli anakalonga Sauli ufumu pamaso pa Yehova. Pambuyo pake anthu anapereka nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo Sauli ndi Aisraeli onse anachita chikondwerero chachikulu.
