וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֧ם שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל לִקְרַ֥את שָׁא֖וּל בַּבֹּ֑קֶר וַיֻּגַּ֨ד לִשְׁמוּאֵ֜ל לֵאמֹ֗ר בָּֽא־שָׁא֤וּל הַכַּרְמֶ֙לָה֙ וְהִנֵּ֨ה מַצִּ֥יב לוֹ֙ יָ֔ד וַיִּסֹּב֙ וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֔ר וַיֵּ֖רֶד הַגִּלְגָּֽל׃
Keesokan harinya Samuel bangun pagi-pagi benar untuk menemui Saul. Lalu diberitahukan kepada Samuel, “Saul telah datang ke Karmel, dan lihatlah, ia sedang menyiapkan bagi dirinya suatu tempat. Kemudian ia berbalik, melanjutkan perjalanan, dan turun ke Gilgal.”

And is setting up a place for himself. He is building an altar for himself. That is the altar referred to concerning Eliyohu, 'he repaired the ruined altar of Adonoy.'17Melachim I 18:30. Targum Yonoson renders, 'and he is making room there for himself to divide the spoils.'
