When Israel asked for a king, they violated the covenant and rejected the Lord's Kingship over them. Before Saul could properly be established as Israel's king, the Lord's Kingship had to be renewed. To accomplish this renewal, Samuel delivered a very pastoral sermon to Israel at Gilgal. As he preached both the law and the gospel to Israel, the Holy Spirit cut the people of God to the heart and they confessed their sin in seeking a human deliverer rather than divine help. After hearing their confession, Samuel expounded the terms of the covenant to the people and the Lord's Kingship was renewed. With the Kingdom renewed, Israel was in position to receive leadership by the hand of the Lord through Saul's kingship.
