Saul rescues Jabesh-gilead
When the Ammonites threatened to gouge out the right eye of every man in Jabesh-gilead, Saul rallied Israel, rescued the town, and was confirmed as king at Gilgal.
All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
1 Samuel 11:15 (World English Bible)
God's Spirit came on Saul, and he cut up a pair of oxen and sent the pieces through Israel as a summons. The victory silenced those who had doubted him, and the people renewed the kingdom at Gilgal. Jabesh-gilead never forgot: years later its men risked their lives to rescue Saul's body.
