Good News Translation
24 So the cook brought the choice piece of the leg and placed it before Saul. Samuel[a] said, “Look, here is the piece that was kept for you. Eat it. I saved it for you to eat at this time with the people I invited.”[b]
So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 25 When they went down from the place of worship to the town, they fixed up a bed for Saul[c] on the roof,[d] 26 and he slept there.[e]
Samuel Anoints Saul as Ruler
