1 Samuel 9:1-5

1And there was a manH376 of Benjamin whose nameH8034 was KishH7027, the sonH1121 of AbielH22, the sonH1121 of Zeror, the sonH1121 of Bechorath, the sonH1121 of Aphiah, the sonH1121 of a Benjaminite, a mightyH1368 manH376 of wealthH2428.

2And he had a sonH1121 whose nameH8034 was SaulH7586, choice and comely; and there was not among the children of IsraelH3478 a comelier personH376 than he; from his shouldersH7926 and upwardH4605 he was higher than any of the peopleH5971.

3And the asses of KishH7027 Saul's fatherH1 were lost; and KishH7027 saidH559 to SaulH7586 his sonH1121, TakeH3947, I pray, oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 with thee, and ariseH6965, go seekH1245 the asses.

4And he passedH5674 through mount EphraimH669, and passedH5674 through the landH776 of Shalishah, but they foundH4672 [them] not; and they passedH5674 through the landH776 of Shaalim, and they were not there; and they passedH5674 through the landH776 of Benjamin, and they foundH4672 [them] not.

5They had comeH935 to the landH776 of ZuphH6689 whenH834 SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 that was with him, ComeH935 and let us returnH7725; lestH6435 my fatherH1 give up the asses, and be anxiousH1672 about us.
