At Gilgal Samuel publicly steps back from national leadership, calls Israel to testify that he has not cheated or oppressed them, and reviews how the LORD repeatedly delivered Israel in the past. He declares that asking for a king was wicked, confirms the rebuke with thunder and rain during wheat harvest, and then urges both people and king to fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully.
