12 Then the people said to Samuel, “(A)Who is he that said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ [a](B)Bring the men, so that we may put them to death!” 13 But Saul said, “(C)Not a single person shall be put to death this day, for today (D)the Lord has brought about [b]victory in Israel.”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to (E)Gilgal and (F)renew the kingdom there.” 15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king (G)before the Lord in Gilgal. There they also (H)offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

12 Then the people exclaimed to Samuel, “Where are those men who said that Saul shouldn’t be our king? Bring them here and we will kill them!”
13 But Saul replied, “No one will be executed today; for today the Lord has rescued Israel!”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us all go to Gilgal and reconfirm Saul as our king.”
15 So they went to Gilgal and in a solemn ceremony before the Lord they crowned him king. Then they offered peace offerings to the Lord, and Saul and all Israel were very happy.
