1 Samuel 9:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was [a]upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold, that which is left, set it before thee, and eat: for hitherto hath it been kept for thee, saying, Also I [b]have called the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
25 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, he communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
26 And when they arose early about the spring of the day, Samuel called Saul to the [c]top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out, both he, and Samuel.
