1 Samuel 9:1-5

1NowH1961 there was a manH376 of Benjamin, whoseH1121 nameH8034 was KishH7027, the sonH1121 of AbielH22, the sonH1121 of Zeror, the sonH1121 of BecorathH1064, the sonH1121 of Aphiah, the sonH1121 of a Benjamite, a mightyH1368 manH376 of valour.

2And he had a sonH1121, whoseH1121 nameH8034 was SaulH7586, a youngH1121 manH376 and a goodly: and there was notH369 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 a goodlier personH376 thanH4480 he: from his shouldersH7926 and upwardH4605 he was higherH4605 thanH4480 anyH3605 of the peopleH5971.

3And the asses of KishH7027 Saul’sH7586 fatherH1 were lostH6. And KishH7027 saidH559 to SaulH7586 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 nowH4994 one of the servantsH5288 with thee, and ariseH6965, goH6965 seekH1245 the asses.

4And he passedH5674 throughH5674 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 of ShalishahH8031, but they foundH4672 them notH3808: then they passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 of ShaalimH8171, and there they were notH3808: and he passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 of the Benjamites, but they foundH4672 them notH3808.

5When they were comeH935 to the landH776 of ZuphH6689, SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantH5288 that was with him, ComeH935 and letH2308 usH7725 returnH7725; lestH6435 my fatherH1 leaveH2308 caring for the asses, and takeH7725 thoughtH559 for usH7725.
