1 Samuel 9:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin. And you will anoint him to be leader over My people Israel, that he may save My people out of the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come unto Me.”

¹⁷ When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! This one will rule over My people.”

¹⁸ Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Tell me, please, where is the seer’s house?”
