¹⁶ “Tomorrow about this time ^(A)I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, ^(B)and you shall anoint him ^[a]commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have ^(C)looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”

²¹ And Saul answered and said, ^(A)“Am I not a Benjamite, of the ^(B)smallest of the tribes of Israel, and ^(C)my family the least of all the families of the ^[a]tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?”
