15 So all the people went to Gilʹgal, and there they proceeded to make Saul king* before Jehovah in Gilʹgal. Then they rendered up communion sacrifices there before Jehovah,+ and there Saul and all the men of Israel continued rejoicing to a great degree.+
13 At this Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly.+ You have not kept the commandment+ of Jehovah your God that he commanded you,+ because, if you had, Jehovah would have made your kingdom firm over Israel to time indefinite.
26 But Samuel said to Saul: “I shall not return with you, for you have rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah rejects you from continuing as king over Israel.”+
23 And it occurred that, when God’s spirit came to be upon Saul, David took the harp and played with his hand; and there was relief for Saul and it was well with him, and the bad spirit departed from upon him.+
7 Finally Saul said to his servants: “Seek for me a woman who is a mistress of spirit mediumship,+ and I will go to her and consult her.” Then his servants said to him: “Look! There is a woman who is a mistress of spirit mediumship in En-dor.”+
4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer: “Draw your sword+ and run me through with it, that these uncircumcised+ men may not come and certainly run me through and deal abusively with me.” And his armor-bearer was unwilling,+ because he was very much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell upon it.+
