And [G2532] they went [G1330] through [G1223] the [G3588] land '[G1093] of Benjamin, and [G2532] they did not [G3756] find [G2147].
5
And of their [G1473][G1161] coming [G2064] unto [G1519] the [G3588] Zuph, and [G2532] Saul said [G2036] [to the [G3588] his servant-lad [G3808][G1473] the [G3588] with [G3326] him [G1473], Come [G1204], for [G2532] we should return , lest [G3361] sparing the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473] concerning [G4012] the [G3588] donkeys [G3688], should be thoughtful [G5431] the [G3588] concerning [G4012] us [G1473].
6
And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] the [G3588] servant-lad [G3808], look [G2400], indeed [G1211] a man of God '[G2316] [is] in [G1722] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778], and [G2532] the [G3588] man is honorable [G1741], all [G3956] what [G3739] ever he should speak [G2980], coming [G3854] will be at hand [G3918]. And [G2532] now [G3568], we should go [G4198] there [G1563], so that [G3704] he should report to us [G1473] the [G3588] our way [G3598][G1473], upon [G1909] which [G3739] we should go [G4198] upon [G1909] it [G1473].
7
And [G2532] Saul said [G2036] to the [G3588] his servant-lad [G3808][G1473] the [G3588] with [G3326] him [G1473], Yes [G2532], look [G2400], we will go [G4198]. But [G2532] what [G5100] will we carry in [G1533] to the [G3588] man of the [G3588] God '[G2316], for [G3754] the [G3588] bread [loaves have failed [G1587] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] our containers [G1473], and [G2532] much [G4183] there not [G3756] is with [G3326] us [G1473] the [G3588] to carry [G1533] to the [G3588] man of the [G3588] God '[G2316] that the [G3588] exists [G5224] to us [G1473]?
8
And [G2532] proceeded [G4369] the [G3588] servant-lad [G3808] to answer the [G3588] Saul, and [G2532] said [G2036], look [G2400], there is found [G2147] in [G1722] the [G3588] my hand [G5495][G1473] a fourth [G5067] shekel of silver ; and [G2532] you will give [it [G1325] to the [G3588] man of the [G3588] God '[G2316], and [G2532] he will report to us [G1473] the [G3588] our way [G3598][G1473].
9
And [G2532] before [G1715] in [G1722] Israel, thus [G3592] said [G3004] each [G1538] man in [G1722] their the [G3588] going [G4198] to ask [G1905] the [G3588] God '[G2316], Come [G1204], and [G2532] we should go [G4198] to [G4314] the [G3588] seer . For [G3754] the [G3588] prophet [G4396] was called [G2564] by the [G3588] people [G2992] before [G1715], The Seer .
10
And [G2532] Saul said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] his servant-lad [G3808][G1473], [is] good the [G3588] your word [G4487][G1473]. Come [G1204], for [G2532] we should go [G4198]. And [G2532] they went [G4198] into [G1519] the [G3588] city [G4172] of which [G3739] was there [G1563] the [G3588] man , the [G3588] [one] [of the [G3588] God '[G2316].
11
In their [G1473] going up the [G3588] ascent of the [G3588] city [G4172], and [G2532] they [G1473] found [G2147] young women [G2877] going forth [G1831] to draw water [G5204]. And [G2532] they say [G3004] to them [G1473], Is there [G1487] here the [G3588] seer ?
12
And [G2532] answered the [G3588] young women [G2877] them [G1473], and [G2532] they said [G2036], He is , look [G2400], in front [G4253][G4383] of you [G1473]. Hasten ! For [G3754] now [G3568] he comes [G2240] into [G1519] the [G3588] city [G4172], because of [G1223] the [G3588] day [G2250], for [G3754] a sacrifice [G2378] today [G4594] for the [G3588] people [G2992] in [G1722] Bama.
13
As [G5613] soon as you enter [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] city [G4172], thus [G3779] you will find [G2147] him [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] city [G4172], before [G4250] his going up [G1473] unto [G1519] Bama the [G3588] to eat [G2068]; for [G3754] in no way should eat [G2068] the [G3588] people [G2992] until [G2193] the [G3588] his entering [G1525][G1473]. For [G3754] this one [G3778] blesses [G2127] the [G3588] sacrifice [G2378]. And [G2532] after [G3326] these [things] [G3778] eat [G2068] the [G3588] strangers [G3581]. And [G2532] now [G3568], go up ! for [G3754] on account of [G1223] the [G3588] day [G2250] you will find [G2147] him [G1473].
14
And [G2532] they go up into [G1519] the [G3588] city [G4172]. And they [G1473][G1161] were entering [G1531] in [G1519] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] city [G4172], and [G2532] look [G2400], Samuel came forth [G1831] for [G1519] the [G3588] meeting them [G1473], the [G3588] to go up unto [G1519] Bama.
15
And [G2532] Boss '[G2962] uncovered the [G3588] ear [G5621] of Samuel day [G2250] one [G1520] before [G1715] the [G3588] came [G2064] to [G4314] him [G1473] Saul], saying [G3004],
16
At [G5613] the [G3588] this time [G2540][G3778] tomorrow I will send to [G4314] you [G1473] a man from [G1537] land '[G1093] of Benjamin, and [G2532] you will anoint [G5548] him [G1473] for [G1519] ruler over [G1909] the [G3588] people [G2992] of me [G1473] Israel, and [G2532] he will deliver [G4982] the [G3588] people [G2992] of me [G1473] from [G1537] hand [G5495] of Philistines . For [G3754] I looked [G1914] upon [G1909] the [G3588] humiliation [G5014] of the [G3588] my people [G2992][G1473], for [G3754] came [G2064] the [G3588]ir yelling [G1473] to [G4314] me [G1473].
17
And [G2532] Samuel looked [at] [G1492] the [G3588] Saul, and [G2532] Boss '[G2962] answered him [G1473], look [G2400], the [G3588] man whom [G3739] I said [G2036] to you [G1473], This one [G3778] will rule over [G1909] the [G3588] people [G2992] of me [G1473].
18
And [G2532] Saul came [G4334] to [G4314] Samuel in [G1519] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] city [G4172], and [G2532] he said [G2036], Report indeed [G1211] to me [G1473], of what [G4169] the [G3588] house [G3624] [is] the [G3588] seer ?
19
And [G2532] Samuel answered the [G3588] Saul, and [G2532] said [G2036], I [G1473] am [he . go up before [G1715] me [G1473] unto [G1519] Bama, and [G2532] eat [G2068] with [G3326] me [G1473] today [G4594]! and [G2532] I will send [G1821] you [G1473] [in the] morning [G4404], and [G2532] all [G3956] the [things] [G3588] in [G1722] the [G3588] your heart [G2588][G1473] I will report to you [G1473].
20
And [G2532] concerning [G4012] the [G3588] donkeys [G3688] the [G3588] being lost to you [G1473] today [G4594] for three days , you should not [G3361] put [G5087] the [G3588] your heart [G2588][G1473] to [G1722] them [G1473], for [G3754] they are found [G2147]. And [G2532] what are [G5100] the [G3588] beautiful [things] [G5611] of the [G3588] Israel? Is it not [G3780] to you [G1473], and [G2532] to all [G3956] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] father [G3962] of you [G1473]?
21
And [G2532] Saul answered and [G2532] said [G2036], not [G3780] a man a son [G5207] of a Benjamite Am I [G1473], of the [G3588] lesser [G3397] chiefdom of [G1537] the [G3588] tribes [G5443] of Israel? And [G2532] the [G3588] my family [G3965][G1473] least [G1646] of [G3844] all [G3956] the [G3588] families [G3965] of the [G3588] Benjamin? And [G2532] why [G2444] have you spoken [G2980] to [G4314] me [G1473] concerning [G2596] the [G3588] this thing [G4487][G3778]?
22
And [G2532] Samuel took [G2983] the [G3588] Saul and [G2532] the [G3588] his servant-lad [G3808][G1473], and [G2532] he brought [G1521] them [G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] lodging [G2646], and [G2532] set [G5087] for them [G1473] a place [G5117] among [G1722] foremost [G4413] of the [G3588] [ones] being called [G2564] -- about [G5616] thirty [G5144] men .
23
And [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] to the [G3588] cook , Give [G1325] to me [G1473] the [G3588] portion [G3310] which [G3739] I gave [G1325] to you [G1473], which [G3739] I told [G2036] you [G1473] to put [G5087] it [G1473] by [G3844] you [G1473].
24
And [G2532] took the [G3588] cook the [G3588] hind quarter , and [G2532] the [part the [G3588] upon [G1909] it [G1473], and [G2532] placed [G3908] it [G1473] before [G1799] Saul. And [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] the [G3588] to Saul, look [G2400], the [G3588] leftover ; place [G3908] it [G1473] before [G1799] you [G1473], and [G2532] eat [G2068]! For [G3754] as [G1519] a testimony [G3142] it is placed [G5087] for you [G1473] over [G3844] the [G3588] people [G2992] -- pull it off ! And [G2532] Saul ate [G2068] with [G3326] Samuel in [G1722] the [G3588] that day [G2250][G1565].
25
And [G2532] he went down [G2597] from [G1537] the [G3588] Bama into [G1519] the [G3588] city [G4172]. And [G2532] they spread carpets for the [G3588] Saul upon [G1909] the [G3588] roof [G1430], and [G2532] he went to bed [G2837].
26
And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] as [G5613] went up the [G3588] dawn [G3722], that [G2532] Samuel called [G2564] to the [G3588] Saul upon [G1909] the [G3588] roof [G1430], saying [G3004], Rise up ! and [G2532] I will send [G1821] you out [G1473]. And [G2532] Saul rose up , and [G2532] went forth [G1831] he [G1473] and [G2532] Samuel] unto [G2193] outside [G1854].
27
And as they [G1473] were going down [G2597] into [G1519] uttermost part of the [G3588] city [G4172], that [G2532] Samuel said [G2036] the [G3588] to Saul, Speak [G2036] to the [G3588] young man [G3808], and [G2532] let him go through [G1330] in front of [G1715] us [G1473]! And [G2532] you [G1473] stand [G2476] here [G5602] today [G4594], and [G2532] hear word [G4487] of God '[G2316]!
