Samuel’s Instructions to Saul
10 Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and told him this:
Hasn’t the Lord anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance?[a] 2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will tell you, “The donkeys that you have been looking for have been found. Now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and is worried about the two of you. He is asking, ‘What should I do about my son?’”
Footnotes
- 1 Samuel 10:1 The Greek text includes words not present in the Hebrew text. They are marked by half-brackets in the following: Hasn’t the Lord anointed you to be ruler over ⎣the Lord’s people, and you will save them from the hand of their enemies all around. And this is the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you ruler over.⎦ his inheritance. There may have been a skip of the Hebrew copyist’s eye from one occurrence of ruler over to the next occurrence.
