1 Samuel 9:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² He had a son named Saul, who was an impressive young man. Among the men of Israel there was not a better man than Saul. He was a head taller than all the people.

³ The donkeys of Saul’s father Kish were lost, so Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of our young men with you, and go look for the donkeys.” ⁴ So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find the donkeys. Then they traveled through the land of Sha’alim^[a] but found nothing. Then he traveled through the land of the Benjaminites, but they did not find the donkeys.
