1 Samuel 9:15-20

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. 19And SamuelH8050 answered SaulH7586, and saidH559, I am the seer; goH5927 up before me unto the highH1116 placeH1116, for ye shall eatH398 with me to-day: and in the morningH1242 I will let thee goH5927, and will tellH5046 thee all that is in thy heartH3824. 20And as for thine asses that were lost threeH7969 daysH3117 ago, setH7760 not thy mind on them; for they are foundH4672. And for whom is all that is desirable in IsraelH3478? Is it not for thee, and for all thy father’sH1 houseH1004?
