CHAP. IX. X. XI. XII.

[World 2941] [Sam. 32] SAUL seeking Asses, findeth a Kingdom: He is anointed at Ramah, which was not far from his own Town of Gibeah. Gibeah, once so abominable and abominably destroyed, Judg. 20. affordeth their first King: He prophecieth at Kirjath-jearim among a company of Prophets that attended the Ark 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉* 1.1 Chap. 10. 12. And he becomes one that is their Father, or chief Prophet amongst them. At Mizpeh, where the Sanhedrin sate, he is proclaimed King by Lot and by the people. He befriendeth Jabesh against Ammon; for Jabesh had been a friend to Gibeah, and suffered for it, Judg. 21. At Gilgal he is annointed again, and God in thunder and lightning telleth the people of his displeasure, for their asking a King. Their occasion of so doing was Nahash the Ammonite, his coming against Jabesh at first to besiege it Chap. 12. 12. The siege was long, and when it begun to capitulate for surrender▪ Nahash demands every right eye in the Town, &c.
