1 Samuel 9:18-24

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?1

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?2

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 dayH3117.3
