1 Samuel 9:12-17

[12] And they answered  them, and said,  He is;  behold, he is before  you: make haste  now, for he came  to day  to the city;  for there is a sacrifice  of the people  to day  in the high place:  [13] As soon as ye be come  into the city,  ye shall straightway  find  him, before he go up  to the high place  to eat:  for the people  will not eat  until he come,  because he doth bless  the sacrifice;  and afterwards  they eat  that be bidden.  Now therefore get you up;  for about this time  ye shall find  [14] And they went up  into  the city:  and when they were come  into the city,  behold, Samuel  came out  them, for to go up  to the high place.  [15] Now the LORD  had told  Samuel  in his ear  day  before  Saul  came,  saying,  [16] To morrow  about this time  I will send  thee a man  out of the land  of Benjamin,  and thou shalt anoint  him to be captain  over my people  Israel,  that he may save  my people  out of the hand  of the Philistines:  for I have looked  upon my people,  because their cry  is come  [17] And when Samuel  saw  Saul,  the LORD  said  unto him, Behold the man  whom I spake  to thee of! this same shall reign  over my people.
