17 When Samuel (his name is El) saw Saul (desired), the LORD {YHWH} told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.” 18 Saul (desired) approached Samuel (his name is El) in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?” 19 “I am the seer,” Samuel (his name is El) (desired) replied. “Go up before me to the high place, for you⁺ shall eat with me today. And when I send you off in the morning, I will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. And upon whom is all the desire of Israel (he wrestles with God), if not upon you and all your father’s house?” 21 Saul (desired) replied, “Am I not a Benjamite (son of the right hand) from the smallest tribe of Israel (he wrestles with God), and is not my clan the least of all the clans of Benjamin? So why would you say such a thing to me?” 1 Samuel 9:17-21, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
