1 Samuel 10:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ Samuel explained to the people the rights and duties of the king who ruled over them. He wrote them down in a book. He placed it in front of the Lord in the holy tent. Then he sent the people away. He sent each of them to their own homes.

²⁶ Saul also went to his home in Gibeah. Some brave men whose hearts God had touched went with Saul. ²⁷ But some people who wanted to stir up trouble said, “How can this fellow save us?” They looked down on him. They didn’t bring him any gifts. But Saul kept quiet about it.
