1 Samuel 11:12-14

New International Reader's Version

The People Agree to Have Saul as King

¹² The people said to Samuel, “Who asked, ‘Is Saul going to rule over us?’ Turn these men over to us. We’ll put them to death.”

¹³ But Saul said, “No one will be put to death today! After all, this is the day the Lord has rescued Israel.”

¹⁴ Then Samuel said to the people, “Come on. Let’s go to Gilgal. There we’ll agree again to have Saul as our king.”
