Exegesis

The narrative unfolds through successive vav-consecutive verbs: vayakam {וַיָּקָם | wayyāqām} ‘and he arose’ introduces Samuel’s action, followed by vayyaʿal {וַיַּעַל | wayyaʿal} ‘and he went up,’ establishing movement from the point of departure (min-ha-gilgāl {מִן־הַגִּלְגָּל | min-ha-gilgāl}) to the destination in a construct chain (gibʿat bînyāmīn {גִּבְעַת בִּנְיָמִן | gibʿat bînyāmīn}).

In context — 1 Samuel 13:15

Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin, and Saul counted the people who were found with him, about six hundred men.
