1 Samuel 9:9-19

9(In former time in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 went to ask counsel of 1GodH430, he saidH559, Come and let us go to the seer; for he that is now calledH7121 a ProphetH5030 was in former time calledH7121 a Seer.)

10And SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288, Well saidH559: come, let us go. So they went to the cityH5892 whereH834 the manH376 of 2GodH430 was.

11As they wentH3318 up the ascentH4608 to the cityH5892, they met maidens goingH3318 forthH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325; and they saidH559 to them, Is the seer hereH2088?

12And they answered them and saidH559, He is; behold, he is before thee: makeH4116 hasteH4116 nowH6258, for he cameH935 to-day to the cityH5892; for the peopleH5971 have a sacrificeH2077 to-day in the highH1116 placeH1116.

13As soon as ye comeH935 into the cityH5892, ye shall straightway findH4672 him, before he goesH935 up to the highH1116 placeH1116 to eatH398; for the peopleH5971 eatH398 not until he has comeH935, because he blessesH1288 the sacrificeH2077; afterwards they eatH398 that are invited. And nowH6258 goH935 up; for this very dayH3117 shall ye findH4672 him.

14And they wentH3318 up into the cityH5892. As they were comingH935 into the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, behold, SamuelH8050 was comingH935 out towards them, to goH3318 up to the highH1116 placeH1116.

15Now Jehovah had apprised SamuelH8050 oneH259 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 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and he will saveH3467 my peopleH5971 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430; for I have lookedH7200 upon my peopleH5971, because their cryH6818 is comeH935 unto me.

17And as SamuelH8050 sawH7200 SaulH7586, Jehovah answered him, Behold the manH376 of whom I spoke to thee! this manH376 shall rule over my peopleH5971.

18And SaulH7586 drewH5066 near to SamuelH8050 in the midstH8432 of 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 to the highH1116 placeH1116, and ye shall eatH398 with me to-day; and to-morrow I will let thee goH5927, and will tellH5046 thee all that is in thy heartH3824.
