And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto his uncle [01730], He told [05046] us plainly [05046] that the asses [0860] were found [04672]. But of the matter [01697] of the kingdom [04410], whereof Samuel [08050] spake [0559], he told [05046] him not.
Then Samuel [08050] told [01696] the people [05971] the manner [04941] of the kingdom [04410], and wrote [03789] it in a book [05612], and laid it up [03240] before [06440] the Lord [03068]. And Samuel [08050] sent [07971] all the people [05971] away [07971], every man [0376] to his house [01004].
Then said [0559] Samuel [08050] to the people [05971], Come [03212], and let us go [03212] to Gilgal [01537], and renew [02318] the kingdom [04410] there.

And Saul [07586] was very [03966] wroth [02734], and the saying [01697] displeased [05869] [03415] him; and he said [0559], They have ascribed [05414] unto David [01732] ten thousands [07233], and to me they have ascribed [05414] but thousands [0505]: and what can he have more but the kingdom [04410]?displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes
