1 Samuel 10:12-21
-
12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
-
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
-
14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
-
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
-
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
-
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
-
18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
-
19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
-
20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
-
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
