1 Samuel 10:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible
10 1 Saul is anointed King by Samuel. 9 God changeth Saul’s heart, and he prophesieth. 17 Samuel assembleth the people, and showeth them their sins. 21 Saul is chosen King by lot. 25 Samuel writeth the King’s office.
1 Then Samuel took a vial of [a]oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Hath not the Lord anointed thee to be governor over his inheritance?
2 When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by (A)Rachel’s sepulcher in the border of Benjamin, even at Zelzah, and they will say unto thee, The [b]asses which thou wentest to seek, are found, and lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
