Samuel departed for Ramah, while Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
Early the next morning they worshiped before the Lord, and then returned to their home in Ramah. When they returned Elkanah had intercourse with his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. Hannah Bears a Son.
Saul also went home to Gibeah, accompanied by warriors whose hearts the Lord had touched.
When the messengers arrived at Gibeah of Saul and reported the news in the people’s hearing, they all wept aloud.
Then he used to return to Ramah, for that was his home. There, too, he judged Israel and built an altar to the Lord.
