When you leave me today, you will find two men near Rachel&#8217;s tomb at Zelzah on Benjamin&#8217;s border. They will say to you, &#8216;The donkeys you have gone looking for have been found. Your father is no longer concerned about the donkeys but has become anxious about you two!<n id="1" /> He is asking, &#8220;What should I do about my son?&#8221;&#8217;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then God&#8217;s anger was kindled<n id="1" /> because he went, and the angel of the <sc>Lordsc> stood in the road to oppose<n id="2" /> him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.

The angel of the <sc>Lordsc> said to him, &#8220;Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I came out to oppose you because what you are doing<n id="1" /> is perverse before me.<n id="2" />

Don&#8217;t be concerned<n id="1" /> about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father&#8217;s family?&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

Saul said to his uncle, &#8220;He assured us that the donkeys had been found.&#8221; But Saul<n id="1" /> did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.p>

His possessions<n id="1" /> included<n id="2" /> 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys; in addition he had a very great household.<n id="3" /> Thus he<n id="4" /> was the greatest of all the people in the east.<n id="5" />p>

<p class="bodytext">So the <sc>Lordsc> blessed the second part of Job&#8217;s life more than the first. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
