1 Samuel 9:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ So Saul and the boy went up to the town, and as they entered it, suddenly Samuel came toward them on his way up to the shrine. ¹⁵ Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed the following to Samuel: ¹⁶ “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the Benjaminite territory. You will anoint him as leader of my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines’ power because I have seen the suffering of^[a] my people, and their cry for help has reached me.”
