1 Samuel 9:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Meeting the Young Women. 11 (A)As they were going up the path to the city, they met some young women coming out to draw water and they asked them, “Is the seer in town?” 12 (B)The young women answered, “Yes, there—straight ahead. Hurry now; just today he came to the city, because the people have a sacrifice today on the high place.[a] 13 When you enter the city, you may reach him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he arrives; only after he blesses the sacrifice will the invited guests eat. Go up immediately, for you should find him right now.”
