1 Samuel 9:15-20
15Now a day before Saul’s coming, 1the Lord had 2revealed this to Samuel saying,
16“About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and 3you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For 4I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord 5said to him, “6Behold, 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.
207As for your donkeys which were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And 8for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father’s household?”
