1 Samuel 9:20-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 As for the donkeys that wandered away from you three days ago,(A) don’t worry about them because they’ve been found. And who does all Israel desire(B) but you and all your father’s family?”
21 Saul responded, “Am I not a Benjaminite(C) from the smallest of Israel’s tribes and isn’t my clan the least important of all the clans of the Benjaminite tribe?(D) So why have you said something like this to me?”
22 Samuel took Saul and his attendant, brought them to the banquet hall, and gave them a place at the head of the 30[a] or so men who had been invited.

New International Version
20 As for the donkeys(A) you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire(B) of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”
21 Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe(C) of Israel, and is not my clan the least(D) of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin?(E) Why do you say such a thing to me?”
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number.
