1 Samuel 9:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man. He will be from Benjamin. You must appoint him as leader over my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines. I have seen the suffering of my people. I have listened to their cry.”

¹⁷ When Samuel first saw Saul, the Lord spoke to Samuel. He said, “This is the man I told you about. He will rule my people.”

¹⁸ Saul came near Samuel at the gate. Saul said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
