19 And ye haue this day cast away your God, who onely deliuereth you out of al your aduersities and tribulations. And ye haue sayd vnto him: No, but make a king ouer vs. Nowe therfore stande ye before the Lorde by your tribes, & your thousandes. 20 And when Samuel had assembled together all the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Beniamin was taken. 21 When he had assembled together the tribe of Beniamin by their kinredes, the kinred of Matri was caught, and at the last Saul the sonne of Cis was caught: And when they sought him, he coulde not be founde. 22 Therfore they asked the Lord further, if the man should yet come thyther? And the Lord aunswered: Behold he hath hyd him selfe among the stuffe. 23 And they ranne and set him thence, and when he stoode among the people, he was hygher then any of the people from the shoulders vpwarde. 24 And Samuel said to al the people: See ye not him whom the Lorde hath chosen, and howe there is none lyke him among all the people? And all the people showted, and sayd: God saue the king. 1 Samuel 10:19-24, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
