Context of 1 Samuel 10:15

13And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place. 14Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.” “Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?” 16And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship. 17After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at Mizpah
