Context of 1 Samuel 10:15

13When Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the hill where people worship God. 14When Saul's uncle saw Saul and his servant, he asked them, ‘Where have you been?’ Saul said, ‘We went to look for the donkeys. We could not find them so we went to visit Samuel.’ Saul's uncle said, ‘What did Samuel say to you?’ 16Saul replied, ‘He told us that someone had found the donkeys.’ But Saul did not tell his uncle that Samuel had said that he would become the king. 17Samuel sent a message to all Israel's people. He told them to come to Mizpah to meet with the Lord.
