And all the people shout, and say, `Let the king live!' 25 And Samuel speaketh unto the people the right of the kingdom, and writeth in a book, and placeth before Jehovah; and Samuel sendeth all the people away, each to his house. 26 And also Saul hath gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the force go with him whose heart God hath touched;
