1 Samuel 10:24-26

New English Translation

²⁴ Then Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one whom the Lord has chosen? Indeed, there is no one like him among all the people.” All the people shouted out, “Long live the king!”

²⁵ Then Samuel talked to the people about how the kingship would work.^[a] He wrote it all down on a scroll and set it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent all the people away to their homes. ²⁶ Even Saul went to his home in Gibeah. With him went some brave men whose hearts God had touched.
