1 Samuel 9:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ So they went up toward the city.

Saul and his attendant were entering the city when they saw Samuel coming toward them on his way to the high place. ¹⁵ Now the day before Saul’s arrival, the Lord had informed Samuel,^{[a](A) 16} “At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over My people Israel.^(B) He will save them from the hand of the Philistines because I have seen the affliction of My people,^(C) for their cry has come to Me.”
