1 Samuel 9:1-5
1Now there was a manH376 of Benjamin, whose nameH8034 was KishH7027, the sonH1121 of AbielH22, the sonH1121 of Zeror, the sonH1121 of Becorath, the sonH1121 of Aphiah, the sonH1121 of a Benjamite, a mightyH1368 manH376 of valor. 2And he had a sonH1121, whose nameH8034 was SaulH7586, a youngH1121 manH376 and a goodly: and there was not among the children of IsraelH3478 a goodlier personH376 than he: from his shouldersH7926 and upwardH4605 he was higher than any of the peopleH5971. 3And the asses of KishH7027, Saul’s fatherH1, were lost. And KishH7027 saidH559 to SaulH7586 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now oneH259 of the servantsH5288 with thee, and ariseH6965, go seekH1245 the asses. 4And he passedH5674 through the hill-country of EphraimH669, and passedH5674 through the landH776 of Shalishah, but they foundH4672 them not: then they passedH5674 through the landH776 of Shaalim, and there they were not: and he passedH5674 through the landH776 of the Benjamites, but they foundH4672 them not.
5WhenH834 they were comeH935 to the landH776 of ZuphH6689, SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 that was with him, ComeH935, and let us returnH7725, lestH6435 my fatherH1 leave off caring for the asses, and be anxiousH1672 for us.
