¹⁵ Now, Yahweh had revealed the following message to Samuel one day before Saul came: ¹⁶ “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the territory of Benjamin. Anoint him to be ruler of my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines because I’ve seen my people’s suffering and their cry has come to me.” ¹⁷ When Samuel noticed Saul, Yahweh told him, “There’s the man I told you about. This man will govern my people.”
