1 Samuel 10:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
18 and said to them,[a] “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’ 19 But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, ‘No! but set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your clans.”
20 Then Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot.
