1 Samuel 9:12-18

12They answered them and said, “He is; 1see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, because 2the people have a sacrifice on 3the high place today. 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 4he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now then, go up, for you will find him about this time.” 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, 5the Lord had 6revealed this to Samuel, saying, 16“About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and 7you shall anoint him as ruler over My people Israel; and he will save My people from the hand of the Philistines. For 8I have considered My people, because their outcry has come to Me.” 17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord 9said to him, “10Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people.” 18Then Saul approached Samuel at the gateway and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
