10. Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said. Come, let’s go!” So they went to the town where the man of God was.
11. As they went up the hill to the town, they found some girls going out to draw water, and they asked them, “Is the seer here?”
12. They answered them and said, “He is there, ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come today to the town because people have a sacrifice at the high place today.
13. As soon as you enter the town, you’ll find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must first bless the sacrifice—afterward the guests can eat. So now, get up, for you will find him at once.”
14. So they went up to the town. As they were entering the town, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.
15. One day before Saul came, Adonai had revealed to Samuel saying:
16. “Tomorrow about this time, I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you will anoint him ruler over My people Israel. He will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. I have observed My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
17. When Samuel saw Saul, Adonai spoke to him, “Behold, this is the man I told you about. This one will govern My people.”
18. Then Saul approached Samuel inside the gate and asked, “Tell me, please, where the seer’s house is?”
19. Samuel answered Saul by saying, “I am the seer. Go up ahead of me to the high place. For today you will eat with me. In the morning when I send you off, I will tell you everything that is in your heart.
