17 When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, |Here is the man I told you about. This man will rule over my people.| 18 As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he said, |Please tell me where the seer's house is.| 19 Samuel answered Saul: |I'm the seer. Go up ahead of me to the high place, and eat with me today. In the morning I'll send you away and tell you everything that is on your mind. 20 Now as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, don't give any thought to them, because they've been found. Meanwhile, to whom is all Israel looking, if not to you and all of your father's household?| 21 Saul answered: |Am I not a descendant of Benjamin from the least of the tribes of Israel? Isn't my family the least important of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why have you spoken to me like this?| 1 Samuel 9:17-21, Intl. Standard Version.
