1 Samuel 9:16-18
International Standard Version
16 “About this time tomorrow I’ll send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him as Commander-in-Chief[a] over my people Israel. He’ll deliver my people from the control[b] of the Philistines, because I’ve seen the suffering of[c] my people and because their cry has come up to me.” 17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, “Here is the man I told you about. This man will rule over my people.”
18 As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
