1 Samuel 9:8-16

8And the servantH5288 answered SaulH7586 again, and saidH559, Behold, I have in my handH3027 the fourthH7253 part of a shekelH8255 of silverH3701: that will I giveH5414 to the manH376 of GodH430, to tellH5046 us our wayH1870. 9(Beforetime in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 went to inquire of GodH430, thusH3541 he saidH559, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he that is now calledH7121 a ProphetH5030 was beforetime calledH7121 a Seer.) 10Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his servantH5288, Well saidH559; come, let us go. So they went unto the cityH5892 whereH834 the manH376 of GodH430 was.

11As they wentH3318 up the ascentH4608 to the cityH5892, they foundH4672 youngH5291 maidens goingH3318 out to drawH7579 waterH4325, and saidH559 unto them, Is the seer hereH2088? 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.
