1 Samuel 9:15-20

15Now, the Lord had revealed the following message to Samuel one day before Saul came:

16“About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the territory of Benjamin. Anoint him to be ruler of my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines because I’ve seen my people’s ⌞suffering⌟ and their cry has come to me.”

17When Samuel noticed Saul, the Lord told him, “There’s the man I told you about. This man will govern my people.”

18Saul approached Samuel inside the gateway and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”

19Samuel replied, “I’m the seer. Go ahead of me to the worship site. You will eat with me today. In the morning I’ll let you go after I tell you all that’s on your mind.

20Don’t trouble yourself about the donkeys that were lost three days ago because they’ve been found. Who will have all that is desirable in Israel? Won’t it be you and your father’s family?”
