1 Samuel 9:16-18
American Standard Version
16 To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be [a]prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. 17 And when Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah [b]said unto him, Behold, the man [c]of whom I spake to thee! this same shall have authority over my people. 18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is.
