Early in the morning Elkanah and his family got up and worshiped in front of the Lord. Then they returned home to Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her.
Saul also went home to Gibeah. With him went some soldiers whose hearts God had touched.
The messengers came to Saul’s town, Gibeah. When they told the people the news, the people cried loudly.
Then he would return home to Ramah. There, too, he judged Israel. And in Ramah he built an altar to the Lord.
