1 Samuel 10:17-24
New International Version
17 Samuel summoned the people of Israel to the Lord at Mizpah(A) 18 and said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the power of Egypt and all the kingdoms that oppressed(B) you.’ 19 But you have now rejected(C) your God, who saves(D) you out of all your disasters and calamities. And you have said, ‘No, appoint a king(E) over us.’(F) So now present(G) yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and clans.”
20 When Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot. 21 Then he brought forward the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, and Matri’s clan was taken.(H) Finally Saul son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he was not to be found. 22 So they inquired(I) further of the Lord, “Has the man come here yet?”
And the Lord said, “Yes, he has hidden himself among the supplies.”
23 They ran and brought him out, and as he stood among the people he was a head taller(J) than any of the others. 24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the man the Lord has chosen?(K) There is no one like(L) him among all the people.”
Then the people shouted, “Long live(M) the king!”

17 Oo Samuu'eelna dadkii buu dhammaan isugu yeedhay xagga Rabbiga ilaa Misfaah; 18 oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil sidaasuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, anaa Masar idinka soo bixiyey oo anaa idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii Masriyiinta, iyo kulli boqortooyooyinkii idin dulmay gacantoodii oo dhan. 19 Laakiinse idinku maanta waad diiddeen Ilaahiinnii idinka badbaadshay belaayooyinkiinnii iyo dhibaatooyinkiinnii oo dhan, oo waxaad isagii ku tidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse boqor noo yeel. Haddaba Rabbiga hortiisa ku soo ururiya qabiilooyinkiinna, iyo kumanyaalkiinna. 20 Sidaas aawadeed Samuu'eel wuxuu soo dhoweeyey qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo waxaa lala baxay qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin. 21 Oo haddana wuxuu soo dhoweeyey qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin oo qoys qoys ah, oo waxaa lala baxay qoyskii reer Matrii, oo waxaa kaloo lala baxay Saa'uul oo ahaa ina Qiish; laakiinse markay doondooneen waa la waayay. 22 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga wax kalay sii weyddiiyeen, Weli ma waxaa jira nin kaloo halkan imanaya? Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Bal eega, alaabta dhexdeeda ayuu ku dhuuntaye. 23 Oo intay ordeen ayay halkaas ka soo kexeeyeen, oo markuu dadkii soo dhex joogsaday, wuu ka dheeraa dadkii oo dhan garbihiisa iyo waxa ka sarreeyaba. 24 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Ma aragtaan kan Rabbigu doortay inaan mid la mid ahu dadka ku jirin? Kolkaasaa dadkii oo dhammu dhawaaqeen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Boqorku ha noolaado.

1 Samuel 10:17-24
King James Version
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh;
18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore they enquired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered, Behold he hath hid himself among the stuff.
23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
