1 Samuel 9:8-16
8And the servantH5288 answeredH6030 SaulH7586 againH3254, and saidH559, Behold, I haveH4672 here at handH3027 the fourth partH7253 of a shekelH8255 of silverH3701: that will I giveH5414 to the manH376 of GodH430, to tellH5046 us our wayH1870.1 9(In times pastH6440 in IsraelH3478, when a manH376 wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of GodH430, thus he spokeH559, ComeH3212, and let us goH3212 to the seerH7200: for he that is nowH3117 called a ProphetH5030 was in times pastH6440 calledH7121 a SeerH7200.) 10Then saidH1697 SaulH7586 to his servantH5288, WellH2896 saidH559; comeH3212, let us goH3212. So they wentH3212 to the cityH5892 where the manH376 of GodH430 was .2
11And as they went upH5927 the hillH4608 to the cityH5892, they foundH4672 young maidensH5291 going outH3318 to drawH7579 waterH4325, and saidH559 to them, IsH3426 the seerH7200 here?3 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 placeH1116:4 13As soon as ye shall enterH935 the cityH5892, ye shall immediatelyH3651 findH4672 him, before he goeth upH5927 to the high placeH1116 to eatH398: for the peopleH5971 will not eatH398 until he comethH935, because he doth blessH1288 the sacrificeH2077; and afterwardsH310H3651 they eatH398 that are invitedH7121. Now therefore go upH5927; for about this timeH3117 ye shall findH4672 him.5 14And they went upH5927 intoH8432 the cityH5892: and when they had comeH935 into the cityH5892, behold, SamuelH8050 came outH3318 meetingH7125 them, to go upH5927 to the high placeH1116. 15Now the LORDH3068 had toldH1540 SamuelH8050 in his earH241 aH259 dayH3117 beforeH6440 SaulH7586 cameH935, sayingH559,6 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 from the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: for I have lookedH7200 upon my peopleH5971, because their cryH6818 hast comeH935 to me.
