1 Samuel 9:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to get water,^[a] and the two men said to them, “We're looking for the man who can see visions. Is he in town?”

¹² “Yes, he is,” they replied. “He's in town today because there's going to be a sacrifice and a sacred meal at the place of worship. In fact, he's just ahead of you. Hurry ¹³ and you should find him right inside the town gate. He's on his way out to the place of worship to eat with the invited guests. They can't start eating until he blesses the sacrifice. If you go now, you should find him.”
