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.
