1 Samuel 9:12-18
12And they answered them, and saidH559, He is; behold, he is before thee: makeH4116 hasteH4116 nowH6258, for he is comeH935 to-day into the cityH5892; for the peopleH5971 have a sacrificeH2077 to-day in the highH1116 placeH1116. 13As soon as ye are comeH935 into the cityH5892, ye shall straightway findH4672 him, before he goeth up to the highH1116 placeH1116 to eatH398; for the peopleH5971 will not eatH398 until he comeH935, because he doth blessH1288 the sacrificeH2077; and afterwards they eatH398 that are bidden. NowH6258 thereforeH3651 get you up; for at this time ye shall findH4672 him. 14And they wentH3318 up to the cityH5892; and as they cameH935 within the cityH5892, behold, SamuelH8050 cameH935 out toward them, to goH3318 up to the highH1116 placeH1116.
15Now Jehovah had revealedH1540 unto SamuelH8050 a dayH3117 before SaulH7586 cameH935, sayingH559, 16To-morrow about this timeH6256 I will sendH7971 thee a manH376 out of the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and thou shalt anointH4886 him to be princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and he shall saveH3467 my peopleH5971 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: for I have lookedH7200 upon my peopleH5971, because their cryH6818 is comeH935 unto me. 17And whenH834 SamuelH8050 sawH7200 SaulH7586, Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Behold, the manH376 of whom I spake to thee! this same shall have authority over my peopleH5971. 18Then SaulH7586 drewH5066 near to SamuelH8050 in the gateH8179, and saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, whereH335 the seer’s houseH1004 is.
