1 Samuel 9:14-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.

15. Now a day before Saul's coming, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel saying,

16. "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."

17. When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, "Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people."

18. Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."

19. Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is on your mind.

20. As for your donkeys which were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's household?"
