1 Samuel 11:12-16

Then the people said to Samuel, “Who is he that said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring the men, so that we may put them to death!”

But Saul said, “Not a single person shall be put to death this day, for today the Lord has brought about victory in Israel.”

Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there.”

So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal. There they also offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
