1 Samuel 9:14-17 ▼

14 So they went up toward the city. Saul and his servant were entering the city when they saw Samuel coming toward them on his way to the high place.

15 Now the day before Saul’s arrival, the LORD had informed Samuel,

16 “At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over my people Israel. He will save them from the Philistines because I have seen the affliction of my people, for their cry has come to me.”

17 When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man I told you about; he will govern my people.”
