1 Samuel 9:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:

¹⁶ To morrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.

¹⁷ And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.
