1 Samuel 9:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
1 Samuel 9:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
2 He had a son named Saul, who was an impressive young man. Among the men of Israel there was not a better man than Saul. He was a head taller than all the people.
3 The donkeys of Saul’s father Kish were lost, so Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of our young men with you, and go look for the donkeys.” 4 So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find the donkeys. Then they traveled through the land of Sha’alim[a] but found nothing. Then he traveled through the land of the Benjaminites, but they did not find the donkeys.

1 Samuel 9:2-4
New International Version
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.
