1 Samuel 9:21-23

English Standard Version

²¹ Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjaminite, ^(A)from the least of the tribes of Israel? ^(B)And is not my clan the humblest of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?”

²² Then Samuel took Saul and his young man and brought them into the hall and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited, who were about thirty persons. ²³ And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Put it aside.’”
