@ Now there was a
man
of
Benjamin

Kish

son

Abiel
, the
son
of
Zeror
, the
son

Bechorath

son

strkjv@1Samuel:9:2
@ And he had a
son
, whose
name
was
Saul
, a choice young
man
, and a
goodly
: and there was not among the
children
of
Israel
a
goodlier
person
than he: from his
shoulders
and
upward
he was
higher
than any of the
people
.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:3
@ And the
asses
of
Kish
Sauls
father
were
lost

Kish
said
to
Saul
his
son
,
Take
now
one
of the

with thee, and
arise
,
go
seek
the
asses
.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:4
@ And he passed
through
mount
Ephraim
, and passed
through
the
land
of
Shalisha

found
them not: then they passed
through
the
land
of
Shalim
, and there they were not: and he passed
through
the
land
of the
Benjamites
Ben-y@, but they
found
them not.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:5
@ And when they were
come
to the
land
of
Zuph

Saul
said
to his
servant
that was with him,
Come
, and let us
return
; lest my
father
leave
caring for the
asses
, and take
thought
for us.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:6
@ And he
said
unto him, Behold now, there is in this
city
a
man
of
God
, and he is an
honourable
man
; all that he
saith
cometh
surely to
pass
: now let us
go
thither; peradventure he can
shew
us our
way

go
.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:7
@ Then
said
Saul
to his

, But, behold, if we
go

bring
the
man
? for the
bread
is
spent
in our
vessels
, and there is not a
present
to
bring
to the
man

God
: what have we?

@ And the
servant
answered
Saul
again
, and
said

have
here at
hand
the fourth
part
of a
shekel
of
silver
: that will I
give
to the
man
of
God
, to
tell
us our
way

Come

strkjv@1Samuel:9:10
@ Then
said
Saul
to his

Well

come

was.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:11
@ And as they went
up
the
hill
to the
city

said
unto them,
Is
the
seer
here?
strkjv@1Samuel:9:12
@ And they
answered
them, and
said
, He
is
; behold, he is
before
you: make
haste
now, for he
came
to
day
to the
city

sacrifice
of the
people
to
day
in the high
place

strkjv@1Samuel:9:13
@ As soon as ye be
come
into the
city
, ye shall
straightway
find
him, before he go
up
to the high
place
to
eat
: for the
people
will not
eat
until he
come
, because he doth
bless
the
sacrifice
; and
afterwards
H3651they
eat
that be
bidden

up
; for about this
time
ye shall
find
him.

@ To

about this
time
I will
send
thee a
man
out of the

Benjamin
, and thou shalt
anoint
him to be
captain
over my
people
Israel
, that he may
save
my
people
out of the
hand
of the
Philistines
: for I have
looked
upon my
people
, because their
cry
is
come
unto me.
strkjv@1Samuel:9:17
@ And when
Samuel
saw
Saul
, the
LORD
said
unto him, Behold the

Tell

house
?
strkjv@1Samuel:9:21
