1
Now there was a
man
of Benjamin,
whose name
was
Kish
,
the son
of Abiel
,
the son
of Zeror
,
the son
of Bechorath
,
the son
of Aphiah
, a Benjamite,
a mighty
man
of power
.
2
And he
had
a son
,
whose name
was
Saul
,
a choice young man
,
and a goodly
:
and
there was
not among the children
of Israel
a goodlier
person
than
he: from his shoulders and upward
he was
higher
than
any
of the people
.
3
And
the asses
of Kish
Saul's
father
were lost
.
And Kish
said
to Saul
his son
,
Take
now
one
of the servants
with thee, and arise,
go
seek
the asses
.
4
And he passed through
mount
Ephraim
,
and passed through
the land
of Shalisha
,
but they found
them
not: then they passed through
the land
of Shalim
, and
there they were
not: and he passed through
the land
of the Benjamites,
but they found
them
not.
5
And
when they were come
to the land
of Zuph
,
Saul
said
to his servant
that
was
with him,
Come
,
and let us return
;
lest my father
leave
caring
for the asses
,
and take thought
for us.
6
And he said
unto him,
Behold
now
,
there
is
in this city
a
man
of God
,
and
he is
an honourable
man
;
all
that he saith
cometh
surely to pass
:
now
let us go thither; peradventure he can shew
us our way
that we should go
.
7
Then said
Saul
to his servant
, But,
behold
,
if
we
go
,
what
shall we bring
the man?
for
the
bread
is spent
in our vessels
,
and
there is
not a present
to bring
to the man
of God
:
what
have we?
8
And the servant
answered
Saul
again
,
and said
,
Behold
, I have
here at hand
the fourth part
of a shekel
of silver
:
that
will I give
to the man
of God
,
to tell
us our way
.
9
(Beforetime
in Israel
,
when a man
went
to inquire
of God
,
thus he spake
,
Come
, and let us
go
to the seer
:
for
he that is
now
called
a Prophet
was beforetime
called
a Seer.)
10
Then
said
Saul
to his servant
,
Well
said
;
come
, let us
go
. So they
went
unto the city
where the man
of God
was
.
11
And
as they went up
the hill
to the city
,
they found
young maidens
going out
to draw
water
,
and said
un
to them
, Is the seer here?
12
And they answered
them, and said, He is; behold,
he is
before you: make haste
now
, for he came
to day
to the city
;
for
there is
a sacrifice
of the people
to day
in the high place
:
13
As soon as ye be come
into the city
, ye shall straightway
find
him,
before
he go up
to the high place
to eat
:
for the people
will not eat
until
he come
,
because
he doth bless
the sacrifice
;
and
afterwards
they eat
that be bidden
.
Now
therefore get you up
;
for about this time
ye shall
find
him.
14
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
.
15
Now the LORD
had told
Samuel
in his ear a
day
before
Saul
came
,
saying
,
16
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.
17
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
.
18
Then Saul
drew near
to Samuel
in
the gate
,
and said
,
Tell
me, I pray thee, where
the seer's
house
is
.
19
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
.
20
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?
21
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?
22
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
.
23
And Samuel
said
unto the cook
,
Bring
the portion
which
I gave
thee, of
which
I
said
unto thee, Set it by thee.
24
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
.
25
And when they were come down
from the high place
into the city
,
Samuel
communed
with Saul
upon the top of the house
.
26
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.
27
And
as they were going down
to the end
of the city
,
Samuel
said
to Saul
,
Bid
the servant
pass on
before
us, (and he passed on,
) but stand
thou still a while
,
that I may shew
thee the word
of God
.
