1 Samuel 9:12-18

12The women answered, “Yes, he is ahead of you. Hurry, he just now entered the city, because there’s a sacrifice for the people at the high place today.

13As soon as you enter the city, you will find him before he goes to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he comes because he must bless the sacrifice; after that, the guests can eat. Go up immediately — you can find him now.”

14So they went up toward the city. Saul and his servant were entering the city when they saw Samuel coming toward them on his way to the high place.

15Now the day before Saul’s arrival, the Lord had informed Samuel,

16“At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over my people Israel. He will save them from the Philistines because I have seen the affliction of my people, for their cry has come to me.”

17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, “Here is the man I told you about; he will govern my people.”

18Saul approached Samuel in the city gate and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?”
