Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
They rose up in the morning early and worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
Saul also went home to Gibeah. And there went with him a band of valiant men whose hearts God had touched.
So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke the words in the ears of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
But his return was to Ramah, for his house was there and there he judged Israel. And there he built an altar to the Lord.
