1 Samuel 9:14-18 New King James Version (NKJV)

14. So they went up to the city. As they were coming into the city, there was Samuel, coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

15. Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying,

17. So when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.”

18. Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please tell me, where is the seer’s house?”
