1 Samuel 9:12-18

12And they answeredH559 them, and saidH559, He is; beholdH2009, he is beforeH6440 thee: makeH4116 hasteH4116 nowH6258, for he is comeH935 todayH3117 intoH935 the cityH5892; for the peopleH5971 have a sacrificeH2077 todayH3117 in the highH1116 placeH1116:

13as soonH6258 as ye be comeH935 intoH935 the cityH5892, ye shall straightway findH4672 him, beforeH2962 he goH935 upH5927 to the highH1116 placeH1116 to eatH398: for the peopleH5971 will notH3808 eatH398 untilH5704 he comeH935, becauseH3588 he doth blessH1288 the sacrificeH2077; and afterwardsH310 they eatH398 that be bidden. NowH6258 therefore getH935 youH3588 upH5927; for at this time ye shall findH4672 him.

14And they wentH3318 upH5927 to the cityH5892; and as they cameH935 withinH8432 the cityH5892, beholdH2009, SamuelH8050 cameH935 outH3318 againstH7122 them, for to goH3318 upH5927 to the highH1116 placeH1116.

15NowH3117 the LORDH3068 had revealedH1540 unto SamuelH8050 a dayH3117 beforeH6440 SaulH7586 cameH935, sayingH559,

16TomorrowH4279 aboutH5921 this time I will sendH7971 thee a manH376 outH7971 of the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and thou shalt anointH4886 him to be princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and he shall saveH3467 my peopleH5971 outH7971 of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: for I have lookedH7200 uponH5921 my peopleH5971, becauseH3588 their cryH6818 is comeH935 unto meH413:

17And when SamuelH8050 sawH7200 SaulH7586, the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009 the manH376 of whomH834 I spake to thee! this sameH2088 shall have authority over my peopleH5971.

18Then SaulH7586 drewH5066 nearH5066 to SamuelH8050 in the gateH8179, and saidH559, TellH5046 meH4994, I prayH4994 thee, whereH335 the seer’s houseH1004 is.
