Saul Meets Samuel

¹⁴ Saul and the servant went up to the town. Just as they ·entered it [^Larrived in the midst of the town], they saw Samuel coming toward them on his way up to the ·place of worship [high place].

¹⁵ The day before Saul came, the Lord had ·told [revealed this to] Samuel: ¹⁶ “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the ·land [territory] of Benjamin. ·Appoint [Anoint] him ·to lead [^Lruler/prince over] my people Israel. He will ·save [rescue; deliver] my people from the [^Lhand of the] Philistines. I have seen ·the suffering of my people, and I have listened to their cry [^Lmy people because their cry has reached me].”
