Saul Confirmed as King

The people then said to Samuel,
"Who was it that asked,
'Shall Saul reign over us?'
Bring these men to us
and we will put them to death."

But Saul said,
"No one shall be put to death today,
for this day the Lord has rescued Israel."

Then Samuel said to the people,
"Come, let us go to Gilgal and there reaffirm the kingship."
So all the people went to Gilgal
and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the Lord.
There they sacrificed fellowship offerings before the Lord,
and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration.

(I Samuel 11:12-15)
