1 Samuel 9:11-27

11And as they went upH5927 the hillH4608 to the cityH5892, they foundH4672 young maidensH5291 going outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325, and saidH559 unto them, IsH3426 the seerH7200 here?1 12And they answeredH6030 them, and saidH559, He isH3426; behold, he is beforeH6440 you: make hasteH4116 now, for he cameH935 to dayH3117 to the cityH5892; for there is a sacrificeH2077 of the peopleH5971 to dayH3117 in the high placeH1116:2 13As soon as ye be comeH935 into the cityH5892, ye shall straightwayH3651 findH4672 him, before he go upH5927 to the high placeH1116 to eatH398: for the peopleH5971 will not eatH398 until he comeH935, because he doth blessH1288 the sacrificeH2077; and afterwardsH3651H310 they eatH398 that be biddenH7121. Now therefore get you upH5927; for about this timeH3117 ye shall findH4672 him.3 14And they went upH5927 intoH8432 the cityH5892: and when they were comeH935 into the cityH5892, behold, SamuelH8050 came outH3318 againstH7125 them, for to go upH5927 to the high placeH1116.

15Now YhwhH3068 had toldH1540 SamuelH8050 in his earH241 aH259 dayH3117 beforeH6440 SaulH7586 cameH935, sayingH559,4 16To morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 I will sendH7971 thee a manH376 out of the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and thou shalt anointH4886 him to be captainH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, that he may saveH3467 my peopleH5971 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: for I have lookedH7200 upon my peopleH5971, because their cryH6818 is comeH935 unto me. 17And when SamuelH8050 sawH7200 SaulH7586, YhwhH3068 saidH6030 unto him, Behold the manH376 whom I spakeH559 to thee of! this same shall reignH6113 over my peopleH5971.5 18Then SaulH7586 drew nearH5066 to SamuelH8050 inH8432 the gateH8179, and saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, whereH335 the seer’sH7200 houseH1004 is. 19And SamuelH8050 answeredH6030 SaulH7586, and saidH559, I am the seerH7200: go upH5927 beforeH6440 me unto the high placeH1116; for ye shall eatH398 with me to dayH3117, and to morrowH1242 I will let thee goH7971, and will tellH5046 thee all that is in thine heartH3824. 20And as for thine donkeysH860 that were lostH6 threeH7969 daysH3117 agoH3117, setH7760 not thy mindH3820 on them; for they are foundH4672. And on whom is all the desireH2532 of IsraelH3478? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’sH1 houseH1004?6 21And SaulH7586 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Am not I a BenjamiteH1145, of the smallestH6996 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478? and my familyH4940 the leastH6810 of all the familiesH4940 of the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144? wherefore then speakestH1696 thou soH1697 to me?7 22And SamuelH8050 tookH3947 SaulH7586 and his servantH5288, and broughtH935 them into the parlourH3957, and made them sitH5414 in the chiefestH7218 placeH4725 among them that were biddenH7121, which were about thirtyH7970 personsH376. 23And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the cookH2876, BringH5414 the portionH4490 which I gaveH5414 thee, of which I saidH559 unto thee, SetH7760 it by thee. 24And the cookH2876 took upH7311 the shoulderH7785, and that which was upon it, and setH7760 it beforeH6440 SaulH7586. And Samuel saidH559, Behold that which is leftH7604! setH7760 it beforeH6440 thee, and eatH398: for unto this timeH4150 hath it been keptH8104 for thee since I saidH559, I have invitedH7121 the peopleH5971. So SaulH7586 did eatH398 with SamuelH8050 that dayH3117.8

25And when they were come downH3381 from the high placeH1116 into the cityH5892, Samuel communedH1696 with SaulH7586 upon the top of the houseH1406. 26And they arose earlyH7925: and it came to pass about the springH5927 of the dayH7837, that SamuelH8050 calledH7121 SaulH7586 to the top of the houseH1406, sayingH559, UpH6965, that I may send thee awayH7971. And SaulH7586 aroseH6965, and they went outH3318 bothH8147 of them, he and SamuelH8050, abroadH2351. 27And as they were going downH3381 to the endH7097 of the cityH5892, SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, BidH559 the servantH5288 pass onH5674 beforeH6440 us, (and he passed onH5674,) but standH5975 thou still a whileH3117, that I may shewH8085 thee the wordH1697 of GodH430.9
