1 Samuel 9:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Appoint him to lead my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines. I have seen the suffering of my people, and I have listened to their cry.”

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

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