1 Samuel 9:20-22
New English Translation
20 Don’t be concerned[a] about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father’s family?”[b]
21 Saul replied, “Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of Israel’s tribes, and is not my family clan the smallest of all the clans in the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?”
22 Then Samuel brought[c] Saul and his servant into the room and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited. There were about thirty people present.

1 Samuel 9:20-22
New International Version
20 As for the donkeys(A) you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire(B) of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”
21 Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe(C) of Israel, and is not my clan the least(D) of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin?(E) Why do you say such a thing to me?”
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number.
