撒母耳對百姓說：「來，我們到吉甲去，在那裏開始新的王國。」眾百姓到了吉甲那裏，在耶和華面前擁立掃羅為王，又在耶和華面前獻平安祭。掃羅和以色列眾人在那裏都非常歡喜。

以色列眾人聽見掃羅攻擊非利士的駐軍，又聽見以色列為非利士人所憎惡，百姓就跟隨掃羅，在吉甲集合。

掃羅照着撒母耳所定的日期等了七日。但是，撒母耳還沒有來到吉甲，百姓就離開掃羅散去了。於是掃羅說：「把燔祭和平安祭帶到我這裏來。」掃羅就獻上燔祭。他剛獻完燔祭，看哪，撒母耳就到了。掃羅出去迎接他，向他問安。撒母耳說：「你做了甚麼事啊？」掃羅說：「因為我見百姓離開我散去，你又不照所定的日期來到，而且非利士人已在密抹集合；我說：『現在非利士人已經下到吉甲來攻擊我，可是我還沒有向耶和華禱告。』所以我就勉強獻上燔祭。」撒母耳對掃羅說：「你做了糊塗事了，沒有遵守耶和華－你上帝吩咐你的命令。不然，耶和華會在以色列中堅立你的國度，直到永遠。現在你的國度必不長久。耶和華已經尋着一個合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君王，因為你沒有遵守耶和華所吩咐你的。」撒母耳就起來，從吉甲上到便雅憫的基比亞。掃羅數點跟隨他的百姓，約有六百人。

撒母耳說：「你既用刀使婦人喪子，你母親在婦人中也必照樣喪子。」於是，撒母耳在吉甲耶和華面前把亞甲砍碎了。
