All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.1 Samuel 11:15.{RRe 287.1}[1]

撒母耳召集了众民到米斯巴。他先献上祷告，祈求上帝的领导；然后就举行掣签的隆重礼节。众人都在静候结果。于是先掣出了支派，宗族，和家室，然后才掣出基士的儿子扫罗来。但当时扫罗没有在众人中间。他因感觉到那将要落到自己身上责任的重大，就已暗暗地退去了。后来。他被领到会众中间，众人看到他那种君王的风度和高贵的姿态，“身体比众民高过一头，”就甚为骄傲满意。连撒母耳把他介绍给会众的时候，也这样说：“你们看耶和华所拣选的人，众民中有可比他的吗？”于是众人发出经久不息而响彻云霄的欢呼，说，“愿王万岁！”……[2]
开朗的宗教-第286章
Samuel convoked the people at Mizpeh. Prayer was offered for divine guidance; then followed the solemn ceremony of casting the lot. In silence the assembled multitude awaited the issue. The tribe, the family, and the household were successively designated, and then Saul, the son of Kish, was pointed out as the individual chosen. But Saul was not in the assembly. Burdened with a sense of the great responsibility about to fall upon him, he had secretly withdrawn. He was brought back to the congregation, who observed with pride and satisfaction that he was of kingly bearing and noble form, being “higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.” Even Samuel, when presenting him to the assembly, exclaimed, “See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among the people?” And in response arose from the vast throng one long, loud shout of joy, “God save the king!” ...{RRe 287.2}[2]

一般民众虽然承认了扫罗为他们的王，然而也有一大群人反对他。……扫罗看出在这种情形之下，还不宜出来执掌王权，他便让撒母耳照常处理政务，自己则回到基比亚去了。……他依然安静地在便雅悯高原的家中从事农作，把建立他王位的事完全托诸上帝。……[3]
开朗的宗教-第286章
While the people in general were ready to acknowledge Saul as their king, there was a large party in opposition.... In this condition of affairs, Saul did not see fit to assume the royal dignity. Leaving Samuel to administer the government as formerly, he returned to Gibeah.... In his home among the uplands of Benjamin he quietly occupied himself in the duties of a husbandman, leaving the establishment of his authority entirely to God....{RRe 287.3}[3]

这时，撒母耳建议应该在吉甲召集一个全国性的大会，可以公开地坚定扫罗的国权。众百姓就到吉甲来了，“在耶和华面前献平安祭，扫罗和以色列众人大大欢喜。”（PP 611-613?）[4]

Samuel now proposed that a national assembly should be convoked at Gilgal, that the kingdom might there be publicly confirmed to Saul. It was done; “and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.”—Patriarchs and Prophets, 611-613.{RRe 287.4}[4]
