1 Samuel 9:15-17
9:15 Now the day before Saul arrived, the
Lord had told
Samuel:
9:16 “At this time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin. You must consecrate
him as a leader over my people Israel. He will save my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked with favor on my people. Their cry has reached me!”
9:17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said, “Here is the man that I told you about! He will rule over my people.”
