왕으로 뽑힌 사울
9 베냐민 지파에 기스라는 사람이 있었다. 그는 부유하고 유력한 사람으로 아 비엘의 아들이며 스롤의 손자요 베고랏의 증손이며 아비아의 현손이었다.
2 기스에게는 사울이라는 아들 하나가 있었는데 그는 이스라엘에서 키가 제일 크고 으뜸가는 미남자였다.
3 어느 날 기스의 나귀들이 길을 잃고 집에 들어오지 않았다. 그래서 그는 사울과 하인 한 사람을 보내며 나귀들을 찾아오라고 하였다.
4 그들은 에브라임 산간 지대와 살리사 땅과 사알림 일대와 베냐민 전 지역을 돌아다니면서 샅샅이 찾아보았으나 나귀들을 찾을 수가 없었다.
5 그들이 숩 땅에 이르렀을 때 사울이 하인에게 말하였다. “그냥 집으로 돌아가자. 지금쯤 아버지께서는 잃은 나귀보다 우리를 더 걱정하실 것이다.”
6 “좋은 수가 있습니다. 이 성에 하나님의 사람이 있는데 그가 말한 것은 무엇이든지 이루어지기 때문에 모든 사람들이 그를 존경하고 있습니다. 그 사람에게 찾아가서 한번 물어 봅시다. 나귀가 어디 있는지 아마 가르쳐 줄 것입니다.”
7 “그렇지만 우리에게는 그에게 드릴 선물이 아무것도 없지 않느냐? 우리 음식도 다 떨어졌으니 그에게 드릴 것이라곤 하나도 없다.”
8 “나에게 조그만 [a]은화 하나가 있습니다. 이것이라도 그에게 드리고 한번 알아보도록 합시다.”
9-11 “그거 좋은 생각이다. 그렇게 하도록 하자.” 그래서 그들은 예언자가 있다는 성을 향해 출발하였다. 그들은 성으로 가는 언덕길을 올라가다가 물 길으러 나오는 처녀들을 만나 “이 성에 선견자가 있습니까?” 하고 물었다. (그 당시에는 예언자를 선견자라고 불렀기 때문에 사람들은 하나님에게 물어 볼 일이 생길 때마다 지금 흔히 우리가 말하는 식으로 “예언자에게 가서 물어 보자” 라고 하지 않고, “선견자에게 가서 물어 보자” 라고 말하기가 일쑤였다.)
12-13 그때 처녀들이 이렇게 대답하였다. “예, 방금 이 길을 지나서 성으로 들어갔습니다. 그는 외출했다가 오늘 백성들의 산당 제사에 참석하기 위해서 이제 막 돌아왔습니다. 그는 곧 산당으로 떠나야 합니다. 이것은 백성들이 그가 와서 축복 기도를 해 주기 전에는 제물을 먹지 않고 기다리기 때문입니다. 그러니 지금 서둘러 성으로 들어가 보세요. 곧 만날 수 있을 것입니다.”
14 그래서 그들은 성으로 급히 떠났다. 그들이 성으로 들어갈 때 사무엘이 산당에 가려고 나오고 있었다.
15 여호와께서는 전날 사울이 올 것을 미리 알게 하려고 사무엘에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다.
16 “내일 이맘때에 내가 베냐민 땅에서 한 사람을 너에게 보내겠다. 너는 그에게 기름을 부어 내 백성의 지도자로 삼아라. 그가 내 백성을 블레셋 사람에게서 구해 낼 것이다. 내가 그들의 부르짖는 소리를 들으니 측은한 마음이 드는구나!”
17 사무엘이 사울을 보는 순간 여호와께서 그에게 “저 사람이 내가 너에게 말한 바로 그 사람이다. 그가 내 백성을 다스릴 것이다!” 하고 일러 주셨다.
18 그때 사울이 사무엘에게 다가가서 물었다. “선견자의 집이 어디 있는지 좀 가르쳐 주시겠습니까?”
19 “내가 바로 선견자요. 당신은 먼저 산당으로 올라가시오. 오늘 당신과 내가 함께 식사할 것이오. 내일 아침 내가 당신을 보낼 때에 당신이 알고 싶어하는 것을 다 말해 주겠소.
20 그리고 사흘 전에 잃어버린 나귀에 대해서는 조금도 염려하지 마시오. 그것은 이미 찾았소. 이스라엘 사람들이 그처럼 원하던 자가 누구요? 바로 당신과 당신의 가족이 아니오?”
21 “별말씀을 다하십니다. 나는 이스라엘 지파 중에서도 가장 작은 베냐민 지파 출신이며 게다가 우리 가족은 우리 지파의 모든 집안 중에서도 가장 보잘것없는 집안인데 어째서 나에게 이런 말씀을 하십니까?”
22 사무엘은 사울과 그의 하인을 데리고 큰 객실로 들어가서 그들을 귀빈석에 앉혔는데 그 곳에는 30명 정도의 손님들이 모여 있었다.
23 그런 다음 사무엘이 요리사에게 그들을 위해 미리 준비해 놓은 가장 맛있는 고기를 사울에게 갖다 주라고 지시하자
24 그는 그 고기를 가져다가 사울 앞에 놓았다. 그러자 사무엘이 “자, 먹읍시다. 이것은 내가 이 손님들을 초대하기 전부터 당신을 위해 준비해 놓은 것이오” 하였다. 그래서 그 날 사울은 사무엘과 함께 식사하였다.
25 그 후에 그들은 산당에서 내려와 성으로 돌아왔다. 사무엘은 사울을 데리고 옥상으로 올라가서 이야기를 주고받았다.
26 다음날 아침 사무엘은 일찍 일어나 옥상에 있는 사울을 불러 “일어나시오. 당신이 떠날 시간이 되었소” 하였다. 사울이 일어나자 사무엘은 그를 데리고 밖으로 나갔다.
27 그들이 성 끝에 왔을 때 사무엘은 사울에게 “잠깐 내가 당신에게 할 말이 있소. 하인을 앞서 보내도록 하시오” 하였다. 하인이 앞서 가자 그는 다시 말을 이었다. “여기 잠시 멈추시오. 내가 하나님의 말씀을 당신에게 일러 주겠소.”

Samuel Anoints Saul
9 There was a Benjamite,(A) a man of standing,(B) whose name was Kish(C) son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bekorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. 2 Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome(D) a young man as could be found(E) anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller(F) than anyone else.
3 Now the donkeys(G) belonging to Saul’s father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.” 4 So he passed through the hill(H) country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha,(I) but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys(J) were not there. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them.
5 When they reached the district of Zuph,(K) Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying(L) about us.”
6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God;(M) he is highly respected, and everything(N) he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take.”
7 Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift(O) to take to the man of God. What do we have?”
8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.” 9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire(P) of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)(Q)
10 “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let’s go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
11 As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to draw(R) water, and they asked them, “Is the seer here?”
12 “He is,” they answered. “He’s ahead of you. Hurry now; he has just come to our town today, for the people have a sacrifice(S) at the high place.(T) 13 As soon as you enter the town, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not begin eating until he comes, because he must bless(U) the sacrifice; afterward, those who are invited will eat. Go up now; you should find him about this time.”
14 They went up to the town, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel, coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
15 Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel: 16 “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint(V) him ruler(W) over my people Israel; he will deliver(X) them from the hand of the Philistines.(Y) I have looked on my people, for their cry(Z) has reached me.”
17 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, “This(AA) is the man I spoke to you about; he will govern my people.”
18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?”
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 As for the donkeys(AB) you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire(AC) of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”
21 Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe(AD) of Israel, and is not my clan the least(AE) of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin?(AF) Why do you say such a thing to me?”
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number. 23 Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the piece of meat I gave you, the one I told you to lay aside.”
24 So the cook took up the thigh(AG) with what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, “Here is what has been kept for you. Eat, because it was set aside for you for this occasion from the time I said, ‘I have invited guests.’” And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
25 After they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel talked with Saul on the roof(AH) of his house. 26 They rose about daybreak, and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way.” When Saul got ready, he and Samuel went outside together. 27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us”—and the servant did so—“but you stay here for a while, so that I may give you a message from God.”

Chapter 9
Saul and the Lost Donkeys. 1 There was a certain man from Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah. He was a man of high standing in Benjamin. 2 He had a son whose name was Saul. He was a handsome young man, and there was no one in Israel who was more handsome than he. He was also a head taller than anyone else. 3 Now the donkeys belonging to Kish, the father of Saul, were lost, and Kish said to Saul his son, “Take one of the servants with you and go up and look for the donkeys.”[a]
4 So he passed through the hill country of Ephraim, in the area around Shalishah, but he could not find them. Then he went into the area around Shaalim, but they were not there. He next passed into the land of the Benjaminites, but they did not find them.
5 When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come on, let us go back, lest my father stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us.” 6 But the servant replied, “There is a man of God in this town. He is highly respected, and everything that he says comes true. Let us now go to him, perhaps he can tell us where to go.”
7 Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what are we going to bring the man? We have used up all of the food in our sacks. We have nothing to give the man of God. What do we have?” 8 The servant answered Saul, saying, “I have a quarter of a shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he can tell us which way to go.” 9 (In former days in Israel, if someone wanted to ask something of God, he would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” for in those days prophets were called seers.) 10 So Saul said to his servant, “Good! Let us go.” They went into the town where the man of God was living.
11 As they were going up the hill on the way to the town, they met some young women who were coming out to draw water. They said to them, “Is the seer here?” 12 They answered, “He is. Hurry now, for he has just arrived in the town today because the people are offering a sacrifice on the heights.[b] 13 Find him as soon as you enter the town before he goes up to the heights to eat. The people will not start to eat until he arrives, for he must bless the sacrifice. Afterward, those who are invited will eat. Go up now, for right around now you should find him.”
14 Saul Meets Samuel. They went into the town, and as they were entering the town, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the heights. 15 Now the day before Saul arrived, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel: 16 “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. You will anoint him as leader over my people Israel. He will deliver my people out of the hands of the Philistines. I have regarded my people, for their cry has risen up to me.” 17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “This is the man of whom I have spoken to you. He is to rule over my people.”
18 [c]Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and said to him, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.” 19 But Samuel answered Saul, “I am the seer. Go up ahead of me to the heights, for you will eat with me today. I will let you go on your way tomorrow, and I will make known to you all that is on your mind. 20 As for the donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. Is not all the desire of Israel placed upon you and all your father’s family?” 21 But Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjaminite, the smallest of the tribes in Israel? Is not my family the least important of the clans in the tribe of Benjamin? Why are you saying this to me?”
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall, and he sat them down at the head of those who had been invited; there were about thirty in all. 23 Samuel said to the cook, “Bring me the piece of meat that I brought you, the portion I told you to set aside.” 24 The cook brought up the leg and what was on it and set it in front of Saul. He said, “Here is what I saved for you. Eat it, because I set it aside for this moment from when I first invited the guests.” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
25 After they came down from the heights into the town, he spoke to Saul on the roof of his house. 26 They rose about daybreak, and Samuel called up to Saul on the rooftop, “Get up, and I will send you on your way.” Saul got up, and both he and Samuel went outside together. 27 As they were coming to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell your servant to go on ahead of us,” and he went on ahead. He continued, “You stay here for a while, so that I can reveal the word of God to you.”

- 1 Samuel 9:12 The heights above the city were regarded as the place best suited for sacred gatherings (as a result, “high place” means “sacred place” unless otherwise indicated). In this passage the reference is to a communion sacrifice.
