It is situated in the Jordan Valley, not far from Jericho, and has been the scene of many of the most striking events in Israelitic history. And renew the kingdom there.--There had been, as Samuel and Saul well remembered, many murmurings on the occasion of the original royal election at Mizpeh. Then the people had by no means unanimously accepted as sovereign the Benjamite who was now crowned with the glory of a splendid success. The seer, with striking generosity to one who superseded him in his position as judge, again presented the hero Saul to Israel as their anointed king. Verse 14. - Let us go to Gilgal.
