12 And they answered them, and said, Yea, lo, he is before you: make haste now, for he came this day to the city: for there is an [a]offering of the people this day in the high place.

13 When ye shall come into the city, ye shall find him straightway ere he come up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he come, because he will [b]bless the sacrifice; and then eat they that be bidden to the feast: now therefore go up, for even now shall ye find him.

14 Then they went up into the city, and when they were come into the midst of the city, Samuel came out against them, to go up to the high place.
