Saul is installed as king of Israel, much to the delight of the people, the consternation of Saul, and the horror of Samuel. Samuel remembers what God has said about having no leader but Him and he reminds the people of what to expect from a king that may turn from following God. The people repent of asking for a king; but Samuel encourages them to follow their king and their God in order to receive blessing. Samuel makes a gracious exit from the scene as a leader among the nation.
