1 Samuel 9:15-21

1 Samuel 9:15-21

[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.  [18] Then Saul  drew near  to Samuel  in  the gate,  and said,  Tell  me, I pray thee, where  house  is. [19] And Samuel  answered  Saul,  and said,  go up  before  me unto the high place;  for ye shall eat  with me to day,  and to morrow  I will let thee go,  and will tell  thee all that is in thine heart.  [20] And as for thine asses  that were lost  three  days  set  not thy mind  on them; for they are found.  And on whom is all the desire  of Israel?  Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's  house?  [21] And Saul  answered  and said,  Am not I a Benjamite,  of the smallest  of the tribes  of Israel?  and my family  the least  of all the families  of the tribe  of Benjamin?  wherefore then speakest  thou so  to me?
