1 Samuel 10:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the Lord has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.”

All the people shouted, “Long live the king!”

²⁵ Samuel told the people the regulations concerning the kingship, and he wrote them on a scroll, which was placed before the Lord. Then Samuel sent all the people away, each man to his own house. ²⁶ Saul went home to Gibeah, and the army went with him, those men whose hearts God had touched.
