1 Samuel 9:22-27 ▼

22 Then Samuel took Saul and his young man and brought them to a room where he gave them a place at the head of those who were invited, of whom there were about 30 men.

23 Then Samuel told the cook, |Bring the portion that I gave you, the one I told you to set aside.|

24 The cook picked up the thigh and what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Then Samuel said, |Here is what is left! Set it before you and eat, for it has been kept for you until the appointed time, about which I said, 'I've invited the people.'| So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

25 When they had come down from the high place into town, Samuel spoke to Saul on the roof.

26 They got up early in the morning, and about daybreak Samuel called to Saul on the roof, |Get up and I'll send you off.| Saul got up and the two of them, he and Samuel, went outside.

27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel told Saul, |Tell your young man to go ahead of us and when he has gone ahead, stop for a while so I may declare God's word to you.|
