Chapter 9
Now
there
was
a
man
of
Beniamin,
whose
name
was
Kish,
the
sonne
of
Abiel,
the
sonne
of
Zeror,
the
sonne
of
Bechorath,
the
sonne
of
Aphiah,
a
Beniamite,
a
mighty
man
of
power.
2
And
he
had
a
sonne,
whose
name
was
Saul,
a
choice
young
man,
and
a
goodly:
and
there
was
not
among
the
children
of
Israel
a
goodlier
person
then
hee:
from
his
shoulders
and
vpward,
hee
was
higher
then
any
of
the
people.
3
And
the
asses
of
Kish,
Sauls
father,
were
lost;
and
Kish
said
to
Saul
his
sonne,
Take
nowe
one
of
the
seruants
with
thee,
and
arise,
goe
seeke
the
asses.
4
And
he
passed
thorow
mount
Ephraim,
and
passed
thorow
the
land
of
Shalisha,
but
they
found
them
not:
then
they
passed
thorow
the
land
of
Shalim,
and
there
they
were
not:
and
hee
passed
thorow
the
land
of
the
Beniamites,
but
they
found
them
not.
5
And
when
they
were
come
to
the
land
of
Zuph,
Saul
said
to
his
seruant
that
was
with
him,
Come,
and
let
vs
returne,
lest
my
father
leaue
caring
for
the
asses,
and
take
thought
for
vs.
6
And
hee
said
vnto
him,
Behold
now,
there
is
in
this
citie
a
man
of
God,
and
he
is
an
honourable
man;
all
that
he
saith,
commeth
surely
to
passe:
Now
let
vs
goe
thither;
peraduenture
he
can
shew
vs
our
way
that
we
should
goe.
7
Then
said
Saul
to
his
seruaunt,
But
behold,
if
we
goe,
what
shall
wee
bring
the
man?
for
the
bread
is
spent
in
our
vessels,
and
there
is
not
a
present
to
bring
to
the
man
of
God:
What
haue
wee?
8
And
the
seruant
answered
Saul
againe,
and
said,
Behold,
I
haue
here
at
hand
the
fourth
part
of
a
shekel
of
siluer;
that
wil
I
giue
to
the
man
of
God,
to
tell
vs
our
way.
9
(Beforetime
in
Israel,
when
a
man
went
to
enquire
of
God,
thus
he
spake;
Come,
and
let
vs
go
to
the
Seer:
for
he
that
is
now
called
a
Prophet,
was
beforetime
called
a
Seer.)
10
Then
said
Saul
to
his
seruant,
Wel
said,
come,
let
vs
go:
so
they
went
vnto
the
city
where
the
man
of
God
was.
11
And
as
they
went
vp
the
hill
to
the
city,
they
found
yong
maydens
going
out
to
draw
water,
and
said
vnto
them,
Is
the
Seer
here?
12
And
they
answered
them,
and
said,
He
is:
behold,
he
is
before
you,
make
haste
now:
for
he
came
to
day
to
the
citie;
for
there
is
a
sacrifice
of
the
people
to
day
in
the
hie
place.
13
Assoone
as
ye
be
come
into
the
citie,
ye
shall
straightway
finde
him,
before
he
goe
vp
to
the
high
place
to
eate:
for
the
people
will
not
eate
vntill
hee
come,
because
he
doth
blesse
the
sacrifice,
and
afterwards
they
eat
that
be
bidden:
Now
therefore
get
you
vp,
for
about
this
time
ye
shall
finde
him.
14
And
they
went
vp
into
the
citie:
and
when
they
were
come
into
the
citie,
behold,
Samuel
came
out
against
them,
for
to
goe
vp
to
the
hie
place.
15
Now
the
Lord
had
told
Samuel
in
his
eare
a
day
before
Saul
came,
saying,
16
To
morrow
about
this
time
I
will
send
thee
a
man
out
of
the
land
of
Beniamin,
and
thou
shalt
anoynt
him
to
be
Captaine
ouer
my
people
Israel,
that
he
may
saue
my
people
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines:
for
I
haue
looked
vpon
my
people,
because
their
cry
is
come
vnto
me.
17
And
when
Samuel
saw
Saul,
the
Lord
said
vnto
him,
Behold
the
man
whom
I
spake
to
thee
of:
this
same
shall
reigne
ouer
my
people.
18
Then
Saul
drew
neere
to
Samuel
in
the
gate,
and
said,
Tell
me,
I
pray
thee,
where
the
Seers
house
is.
19
And
Samuel
answered
Saul,
and
said,
I
am
the
Seer:
Goe
vp
before
me
vnto
the
high
place,
for
ye
shall
eate
with
me
to
day,
and
to
morrow
I
will
let
thee
goe,
and
will
tell
thee
all
that
is
in
thine
heart.
20
And
as
for
thine
asses
that
were
lost
three
dayes
agoe,
set
not
thy
minde
on
them,
for
they
are
found:
And
on
whom
is
all
the
desire
of
Israel?
is
it
not
on
thee,
&
on
all
thy
fathers
house?
21
And
Saul
answered,
and
said,
Am
not
I
a
Beniamite,
of
the
smallest
of
the
tribes
of
Israel?
and
my
family
the
least
of
all
the
families
of
the
tribe
of
Beniamin?
Wherefore
then
speakest
thou
so
to
me?
22
And
Samuel
tooke
Saul,
and
his
seruant,
and
brought
them
into
the
parlour,
&
made
them
sit
in
the
chiefest
place
among
them
that
were
bidden,
which
were
about
thirtie
persons.
23
And
Samuel
said
vnto
the
cooke,
Bring
the
portion
which
I
gaue
thee,
of
which
I
said
vnto
thee,
Set
it
by
thee.
24
And
the
cooke
took
vp
the
shoulder,
and
that
which
was
vpon
it,
and
set
it
before
Saul,
and
Samuel
said,
Behold,
that
which
is
left,
set
it
before
thee,
and
eate:
for
vnto
this
time
hath
it
bene
kept
for
thee,
since
I
said
I
haue
inuited
the
people:
So
Saul
did
eat
with
Samuel
that
day.
25
And
when
they
were
come
downe
from
the
high
place
into
the
citie,
Samuel
communed
with
Saul
vpon
the
top
of
the
house.
26
And
they
arose
early:
and
it
came
to
passe
about
the
spring
of
the
day,
that
Samuel
called
Saul
to
the
top
of
the
house,
saying,
Up,
that
I
may
send
thee
away:
And
Saul
arose,
and
they
went
out
both
of
them,
hee
and
Samuel,
abroad.
27
And
as
they
were
going
downe
to
the
end
of
the
city,
Samuel
said
to
Saul,
Bid
the
seruant
passe
on
before
vs,
(and
he
passed
on)
but
stand
thou
still
a
while,
that
I
may
shew
thee
the
word
of
God.
