1Now there was a man of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], whose name [was] Kish [bent], the son of Avi’el [El (God) is my father], the son of Tz’ror [parcel], the son of B’khorat [first-born], the son of Afiach [I will make to breathe], from the tribe of Binyamin [A Son of the Right Hand], a mighty man of power. 2And he had a son, whose name [was] Sha’ul [desired], a choice young man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward [he was] higher than any of the people.

3And the asses of Kish [bent] Sha’ul’s [desired] father were lost. And Kish [bent] said to Sha’ul [desired] his son, Take now one of the servants with youⁱ, and arise, go seek the asses. 4And he passed through mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and passed through the land of Shalishah [night monster; hobgoblin], but they found [them] not: then they passed through the land of Sha’alim [foxes], and [there they were] not: and he passed through the land of the Binyamini, but they found [them] not.

5[And] when they were come to the land of Tzuf [honeycomb], Sha’ul [desired] 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. 6And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city a man of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and [he is] an honourable man; all that he says comes surely to pass: now let us go there; perhaps he can show us our way that we should go. 7Then said Sha’ul [desired] 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-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: what have we? 8And the servant answered Sha’ul [desired] 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-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to tell us our way. 9(Beforetime in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], when a man went to enquire of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for [he that is] now [called] a Prophet was formerly called a Seer.) 10Then said Sha’ul [desired] to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [was].

11[And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here? 12And 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: 13As soon as you^2f be come into the city, you^2f shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he does bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time you^2f shall find him. 14And they went up into the city: [and] when they were come into the city, behold, Sh’mu’el [His name is El] came out against them, for to go up to the high place.

15Now the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had told Sh’mu’el [His name is El] in his ear a day before Sha’ul [desired] came, saying, 16Tomorrow about this time I will send youⁱ a man out of the land of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and youⁱ shall anoint him [to be] captain over my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that he may save my people out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants]: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. 17And when Sh’mu’el [His name is El] saw Sha’ul [desired], the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, Behold the man whom I spoke to youⁱ of! this same shall reign over my people. 18Then Sha’ul [desired] drew near to Sh’mu’el [His name is El] in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray youⁱ, where the seer's house [is]. 19And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] answered Sha’ul [desired], and said, I [am] the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for you^2f shall eat with me to day, and tomorrow I will let youⁱ go, and will tell youⁱ all that [is] in youⁱ heart. 20And as for youⁱ asses that were lost three days ago, set not youⁱ mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is] all the desire of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? [Is it] not on youⁱ, and on all youⁱ father's house? 21And Sha’ul [desired] answered and said, [Am] not I from the tribe of Binyamin [A Son of the Right Hand], of the smallest of the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]? wherefore then speak youⁱ so to me?

22And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] took Sha’ul [desired] and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the most important place among them that were bidden, which [were] about thirty persons. 23And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave youⁱ, of which I said unto youⁱ, Set it by youⁱ. 24And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which [was] upon it, and set [it] before Sha’ul [desired]. And [Sh’mu’el [His name is El]] said, Behold that which is left! set [it] before youⁱ, [and] eat: for unto this time has it been kept for youⁱ since I said, I have invited the people. So Sha’ul [desired] did eat with Sh’mu’el [His name is El] that day.

25And when they were come down from the high place into the city, [Sh’mu’el [His name is El]] communed with Sha’ul [desired] upon the top of the house. 26And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Sh’mu’el [His name is El] called Sha’ul [desired] to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send youⁱ away. And Sha’ul [desired] arose, and they went out both of them, he and Sh’mu’el [His name is El], abroad. 27[And] as they were going down to the end of the city, Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said to Sha’ul [desired], Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand youⁱ still a while, that I may show youⁱ the word of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
