25 Then Samuel told the people [a]the duty of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord, and Samuel sent all the people away every man to his house.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, and there followed him a band of men, whose heart God had touched.
27 But the wicked men said, How shall he save us? So they despised him, and brought him no presents: but he [b]held his tongue.
