09:009:014 And they went up into the city:  and when they were come into
           the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up
           to the high place.

09:009:015 Now the lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul
           came, saying,

09:009:016 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the
           land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over
           my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand
           of the Philistines:  for I have looked upon my people, because
           their cry is come unto me.

09:009:017 And when Samuel saw Saul, the lord said unto him, Behold the
           man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my
           people.

09:009:018 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me,
           I pray thee, where the seer’s house is.

09:009:019 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer:  go up
           before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to
           day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all
           that is in thine heart.

09:009:020 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not
           thy mind on them; for they are found.  And on whom is all the
           desire of Israel?  Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s
           house?

09:009:021 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the
           smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of
           all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then
           speakest thou so to me?

09:009:022 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into
           the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among
           them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.

09:009:023 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave
           thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.

09:009:024 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it,
           and set it before Saul.  And Samuel said, Behold that which is
           left! set it before thee, and eat:  for unto this time hath it
           been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people.  So
           Saul did eat with Samuel that day.

09:009:025 And when they were come down from the high place into the
           city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.

09:009:026 And they arose early:  and it came to pass about the spring of
           the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house,
           saying, Up, that I may send thee away.  And Saul arose, and
           they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
