1 Samuel 9:1-5

1Now there was a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 whose nameH8034 was 1KishH7027 the sonH1121 of AbielH22, sonH1121 of ZerorH6872, sonH1121 of BecorathH1064, sonH1121 of AphiahH647, sonH1121 of a BenjaminiteH376H3228, a 2valiantH2428 mightyH1368 manH1368. 2He hadH1961 a sonH1121 whose nameH8034 was SaulH7586, a 3youngH970 and handsomeH2896 man, and thereH369 wasH369 not a moreH4480H2896 handsomeH2896 manH376 thanH4480 he amongH4480 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; 4from his shouldersH7926 and up he was tallerH1364 thanH4480 anyH3605 of the peopleH5971.

3Now the donkeysH860 of KishH7027, Saul’sH7586 fatherH1, had wanderedH6 offH6. So KishH7027 saidH559 to his sonH1121 SaulH7586, “NowH4994 takeH3947 with you oneH259 of the servantsH5288 and ariseH6965, goH1980 searchH1245 for the donkeysH860.” 4So he passedH5674 through 5the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669 and passedH5674 through the landH776 of 6ShalishahH8031, but they did not findH4672 them. Then they passedH5674 through the landH776 of 7ShaalimH8171, but they were not there. Then he passedH5674 through the landH776 of the BenjaminitesH1145, but they did not findH4672 them.

5When they cameH935 to the landH776 of 8ZuphH6689, SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 whoH834 was with him, “ComeH1980, and let’s returnH7725, 9orH6435 elseH6435 my fatherH1 will stopH2308 being concerned aboutH4480 the donkeysH860 and will becomeH1672 anxiousH1672 about us.”
