09:010:012 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their
           father?  Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the
           prophets?

09:010:013 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the
           high place.

09:010:014 And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither
           went ye?  And he said, To seek the asses:  and when we saw that
           they were no where, we came to Samuel.

09:010:015 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said
           unto you.

09:010:016 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the
           asses were found.  But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof
           Samuel spake, he told him not.

09:010:017 And Samuel called the people together unto the lord to Mizpeh;

09:010:018 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the lord God
           of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you
           out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all
           kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: 

09:010:019 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you
           out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have
           said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us.  Now therefore
           present yourselves before the lord by your tribes, and by your
           thousands.

09:010:020 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come
           near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

09:010:021 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their
           families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of
           Kish was taken:  and when they sought him, he could not be
           found.

09:010:022 Therefore they enquired of the lord further, if the man should
           yet come thither.  And the lord answered, Behold he hath hid
           himself among the stuff.

09:010:023 And they ran and fetched him thence:  and when he stood among
           the people, he was higher than any of the people from his
           shoulders and upward.

09:010:024 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the lord
           hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? 
           And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.

09:010:025 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and
           wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the lord.  And Samuel
           sent all the people away, every man to his house.

09:010:026 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a
           band of men, whose hearts God had touched.

09:010:027 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? 
           And they despised him, and brought no presents.  But he held
           his peace.
