1 Samuel 9:13-19
13As soon as you enterH935 the cityH5892 you will findH4672 him beforeH2962 he goesH5927 up to the highH1116 placeH1116 to eatH398, for the peopleH5971 will not eatH398 untilH5704 he comesH935, becauseH3588 1he must blessH1288 the sacrificeH2077; afterwardH310H3651 those who are invitedH7121 will eatH398. NowH6258 therefore, goH5927 up for you will findH4672 him at onceH3117.” 14So they wentH5927 up to the cityH5892. As they cameH935 into the cityH5892, beholdH2009, SamuelH8050 was comingH3318 out towardH7122 them to goH5927 up to the highH1116 placeH1116.
15Now a dayH3117 beforeH6440 Saul’sH7586 comingH935, 2the LordH3068 had 3revealedH1540H241 this to SamuelH8050 sayingH559, 16“About this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 I will sendH7971 you a manH376 from the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and 4you shall anointH4886 him to be princeH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and he will deliverH3467 My peopleH5971 from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. For 5I have regardedH7200 My peopleH5971, becauseH3588 their cryH6818 has comeH935 to Me.” 17When SamuelH8050 sawH7200 SaulH7586, the LordH3068 6saidH6030 to him, “7BeholdH2009, the manH376 of whomH834 I spokeH559 to you! ThisH2088 oneH2088 shall ruleH6113 over My peopleH5971.” 18Then SaulH7586 approachedH5066 SamuelH8050 in the gateH8179 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 tellH5046 me whereH335 the seer’sH7203 houseH1004 is.” 19SamuelH8050 answeredH6030 SaulH7586 and saidH559, “I am the seerH7203. GoH5927 up beforeH6440 me to the highH1116 placeH1116, for you shall eatH398 with me todayH3117; and in the morningH1242 I will letH7971 you goH7971, and will tellH5046 you allH3605 that is on your mindH3824.
