² Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome^(A) a young man as could be found^(B) anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller^(C) than anyone else.

³ Now the donkeys^(D) belonging to Saul’s father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.” ⁴ So he passed through the hill^(E) country of Ephraim and through the area around Shalisha,^(F) but they did not find them. They went on into the district of Shaalim, but the donkeys^(G) were not there. Then he passed through the territory of Benjamin, but they did not find them.
