So Samuel repeated to the Lord what the people had said,
After Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it, he went up to the Lord’s Temple and spread it out before the Lord.
So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him their ruler and commander of the army. At Mizpah, in the presence of the Lord, Jephthah repeated what he had said to the elders.
and the Lord replied, “Do as they say, and give them a king.” Then Samuel agreed and sent the people home.
