ȕȗ 9:1 There was a Benjamite, a man of standing, whose name was Kish
son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becor ath, the son of Aphiah
of Benjamin.
ȕȗ 9:2 He had a son named Saul, an impressive young man without equal
among the Israelites--a head taller than any of the others.
ȕȗ 9:3 Now the donkeys belonging to Saul's father Kish were lost,
and Kish said to his son Saul, "Take one of th e servants with you and
go and look for the donkeys."
ȕȗ 9:4 So he passed through the hill country of Ephraim and through
the area around Shalisha, but they did not find t hem. They went on into
the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys were not there. Then he passed
through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them.

ȕȗ 9:5 When they reached the district of Zuph, Saul said to the servant
who was with him, "Come, let's go back, or my father will stop thinking
about the donkeys and start worrying about us."
ȕȗ 9:6 But the servant replied, "Look, in this town there is a man
of God; he is highly respected, and everythin g he says comes true. Let's
go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take."
ȕȗ 9:7 Saul said to his servant, "If we go, what can we give the
man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man
of God. What do we have?"
ȕȗ 9:8 The servant answered him again. "Look," he said, "I have a
quarter of a shekel of silver. I wil l give it to the man of God so that
he will tell us what way to take."
ȕȗ 9:9 (Formerly in Israel, if a man went to inquire of God, he would
say, "Come, let us go to the seer," b ecause the prophet of today used
to be called a seer.)
ȕȗ 9:10 "Good," Saul said to his servant. "Come, let's go." So they
set out for the town where th e man of God was.

ȕȗ 9:11 As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some
girls coming out to draw water, and they asked them , "Is the seer here?"
ȕȗ 9:12 "He is," they answered. "He's ahead of you. Hurry now; he
has just come to our town today, for the people have a sacrifice at the
high place.
ȕȗ 9:13 As soon as you enter the town, you will find him before he
goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not begin eating until
he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward, those who are
invited will eat. Go up n ow; you should find him about this time."
ȕȗ 9:14 They went up to the town, and as they were entering it, there
was Samuel, coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
ȕȗ 9:15 Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed this
to Samuel:
ȕȗ 9:16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the
land of Benjamin. Anoint him leader over my peo ple Israel; he will deliver
my people from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked upon my people,
for their cry has reached me."
ȕȗ 9:17 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the LORD said to him, "This
is the man I spoke to you about; he will g overn my people."
ȕȗ 9:18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, "Would you
please tell me where the seer's house is? "
ȕȗ 9:19 "I am the seer," Samuel replied. "Go up ahead of me to the
high place, for today you are to ea t with me, and in the morning I will
let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.
ȕȗ 9:20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry
about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire of Israel
turned, if not to you and all your father's family?"
ȕȗ 9:21 Saul answered, "But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest
tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the leas t of all the clans of the
tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?"

ȕȗ 9:22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and
seated them at the head of those who were invited- -about thirty in number.
ȕȗ 9:23 Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the piece of meat I gave
you, the one I told you to lay aside."
ȕȗ 9:24 So the cook took up the leg with what was on it and set it
in front of Saul. Samuel said, "Here is what has been kept for you. Eat,
because it was set aside for you for this occasion, from the time I said,
'I have invited gu ests.'" And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
ȕȗ 9:25 After they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel
talked with Saul on the roof of his house.
ȕȗ 9:26 They rose about daybreak and Samuel called to Saul on the
roof, "Get ready, and I will send you on your way." When Saul got ready,
he and Samuel went outside together.
ȕȗ 9:27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said
to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead o f us"--and the servant did
so--"but you stay here awhile, so that I may give you a message from God." |
