"Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;"
— 1 Samuel 10:17, Bible in Basic English
And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.
Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?
And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.
Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;
And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:
But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.
So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
