1 Samuel 9:13-19

13As soon as you enter the city you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because 1he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up for you will find him at once.” 14So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.

15Now a day before Saul’s coming, 2the Lord had 3revealed this to Samuel saying, 16“About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and 4you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For 5I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me.” 17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord 6said to him, “7Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people.” 18Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.” 19Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is on your mind.
