12. A man who lived there answered, ‘And who is their father?’ So it became a saying: ‘Is Saul also among the prophets?’
13. After Saul stopped prophesying, he went to the high place.
14. Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, ‘Where have you been?’‘Looking for the donkeys,’ he said. ‘But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.’
15. Saul’s uncle said, ‘Tell me what Samuel said to you.’
16. Saul replied, ‘He assured us that the donkeys had been found.’ But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
