1 Samuel 9:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. You will anoint him as leader over my people Israel. He will deliver my people out of the hands of the Philistines. I have regarded my people, for their cry has risen up to me.” ¹⁷ When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “This is the man of whom I have spoken to you. He is to rule over my people.”

^18 [a]Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and said to him, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
