1 Samuel 9:22-24

22Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number.

23Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the piece of meat I gave you, the one I told you to lay aside.”

24So the cook took up the thigh with what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, “Here is what has been kept for you. Eat, because it was set aside for you for this occasion from the time I said, ‘I have invited guests.’ ” And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
