Common English Bible

²⁴ “Can you see the one the Lord has chosen?” Samuel asked all the people. “He has no equal among the people.”

Then the people shouted, “Long live the king!”

²⁵ Samuel then explained to the people how the monarchy should operate^[a] and wrote it in a scroll and placed it in the Lord’s presence. Then Samuel sent every person back to their homes. ²⁶ Saul also went back to his home in Gibeah. Along with him went courageous men whose hearts God had touched.
