1 Samuel 9:18-24

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? 21And SaulH7586 answered and saidH559, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478? and my familyH4940 the least of all the familiesH4940 of the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144? wherefore then speakest thou to me after this mannerH1697?

22And SamuelH8050 tookH3947 SaulH7586 and his servantH5288, and broughtH935 them into the guest-chamber, and madeH5414 them sit in the chiefest placeH4725 among them that were bidden, who were about thirtyH7970 personsH376. 23And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the cookH2876, Bring the portionH4490 which I gaveH5414 thee, of which I saidH559 unto thee, SetH7760 it by thee. 24And the cookH2876 took up the thighH7785, and that which was upon it, and setH7760 it before SaulH7586. And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Behold, that which hath been reserved! setH7760 it before thee and eatH398; because unto the appointedH4150 time hath it been keptH8104 for thee, for I saidH559, I have invited the peopleH5971. So SaulH7586 did eatH398 with SamuelH8050 that dayH3117.
