As the Philistines mass with thousands of chariots, Saul’s men scatter in fear. Waiting seven days at Gilgal for Samuel, Saul grows anxious and offers the burnt offering himself, overstepping his role. Samuel arrives and rebukes him: because he did not keep the LORD’s command, his kingdom will not continue, and the LORD has sought “a man after his own heart.” Israel is left nearly weaponless under Philistine domination.
