Samuel Anoints Saul

In the tribe of Benjamin, there was a man named Kish whose father was Abiel, and he had a son named Saul. And the donkeys of Kish were lost, and he said to his son, “Take one of the servants and go and see if you can find the donkeys that are lost.”

         And Saul and the servant passed through Ephraim, and they found no donkeys.

         And when they had reached the land called Zuph, Saul said to the servant, “Come let us return home because my father will start to worry about us.”

         And the servant replied, “Now in this city lives a man of God; a prophet. Perhaps he can tell us the way we must go.”
