Context
Samuel Meets with Saul
9:1 There was a Benjaminite man named Kish son of Abiel , the son of Zeror , the son of Becorath , the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. He was a prominent person .
9:2 He had a son named Saul , a handsome young man . There was no one among the Israelites more handsome than he was; he stood head and shoulders above all the people .
9:3 The donkeys of Saul’s father Kish wandered off , so Kish said to his son Saul , “Take one of the servants with you and go look for the donkeys .”
9:4 So Saul crossed through the hill country of Ephraim , passing through the land of Shalisha , but they did not find them. So they crossed through the land of Shaalim , but they were not there. Then he crossed through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not find them.
