1 Samuel 9:3-6
3Now the donkeysH860 of KishH7027, Saul’sH7586 fatherH1, were lostH6. So KishH7027 saidH559 to his sonH1121 SaulH7586, “TakeH3947 nowH4994 with you oneH259 of the servantsH5288, and ariseH6965, goH1980 searchH1245 for the donkeysH860.” 4He passedH5674 through 1the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 and passedH5674 through the landH776 of 2ShalishahH8031, but they did not findH4672 them. Then they passedH5674 through the landH776 of 3ShaalimH8171, but they were not there. Then he passedH5674 through the landH776 of the BenjamitesH1145, but they did not findH4672 them.
5When they cameH935 to the landH776 of 4ZuphH6689, SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 whoH834 was with him, “ComeH1980, and let us returnH7725, 5orH6435 elseH6435 my fatherH1 will ceaseH2308 to be concerned aboutH4480 the donkeysH860 and will becomeH1672 anxiousH1672 for us.” 6He saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, there is 6a manH376 of GodH430 in thisH2088 cityH5892, and the manH376 is heldH3513 in honorH3513; 7allH3605 that he saysH1696 surelyH935 comesH935 true. NowH6258 let us goH1980 thereH8033, 8perhapsH194 he can tellH5046 us about our journeyH1870 on whichH834 we have setH1980 out.”
