Before the lord

Samuel summoned the people to the Lord at Mizpah

Sacrificed

Afterward, go ahead of me to Gilgal. I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice fellowship offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what to do.”

Then he sent out young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord.

The following day they offered sacrifices to the Lord and burnt offerings to the Lord: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, along with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

Rejoiced greatly

The people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a king over us.

“Now here is the king you’ve chosen, the one you requested. Look, this is the king the Lord has placed over you.

Where now is your king,

that he may save you in all your cities,
and the rulers

you demanded, saying,

“Give me a king and leaders”?

But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
