1 Samuel 9:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹² They answered, ‘Yes, there he is just ahead of you. Hurry; he has come just now to the town, because the people have a sacrifice today at the shrine. ¹³ As soon as you enter the town, you will find him, before he goes up to the shrine to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterwards those eat who are invited. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately.’ ¹⁴ So they went up to the town. As they were entering the town, they saw Samuel coming out towards them on his way up to the shrine.
