1 Samuel 9:16-18
New King James Version
16 “Tomorrow about this time (A)I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, (B)and you shall anoint him [a]commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have (C)looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
17 So when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, (D)“There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.” 18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please tell me, where is the seer’s house?”
