He was the son of Abiel son of Zeror son of Becorath son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite. 2He had a son named Saul, who was a handsome young man. No one in Israel was more handsome than Saul, and he stood head and shoulders above everyone else. 3When the donkeys belonging to Saul\u2019s father Kish were lost, Kish said to his son Saul, \u201cTake one of the servant boys with you and go look for the donkeys.\u201d 4So he traveled through the highlands of Ephraim and the land of Shalishah, but they didn\u2019t find anything. They traveled through the land of Shaalim, but still found nothing, so they crossed back into the land of Benjamin, but they still couldn\u2019t find the donkeys. 5When they came to the territory of Zuph, Saul said to the boy who was with him, \u201cLet\u2019s go back before my father stops worrying about the donkeys and starts worrying about us.\u201d 6But the boy said to him, \u201cListen, there\u2019s a man of God in this town. He\u2019s famous\u2014everything he says actually happens! So let\u2019s go there. Maybe he\u2019ll be able to tell us which way we should go.\u201d 7Saul said to his young boy, \u201cBut if we go, what should we bring to the man? The food in our bags is all gone. We don\u2019t have any gift to offer the man of God. Do we have anything?\u201d 8\u201cHere,\u201d the boy answered Saul, \u201cI\u2019ve got a quarter-shekel of silver. I\u2019ll give that to the man of God so he tells us which way to go.\u201d (9Earlier in Israel, someone going to consult with God would say, \u201cLet\u2019s go to the seer,\u201d because the people who are called prophets today were previously called seers.) 10Saul said to the boy, \u201cGreat idea! Let\u2019s go.\u201d So they went into the town where the man of God lived. 11They were going up the hill to the town when they met some young women coming out to draw water. \u201cIs the seer here?\u201d they asked them. 12\u201cHe\u2019s just ahead of you,\u201d they answered. \u201cHurry up! He has just come to town because there is a sacrifice today for the people at the shrine. 13You\u2019ll find him as soon as you enter the town, before he goes up to the shrine to eat. The people won\u2019t eat until he gets there, because he must bless the sacrifice. Only after that can the invited guests eat. Now get going because you\u2019ll find him momentarily.\u201d 14So Saul and the boy went up to the town, and as they entered it, suddenly Samuel came toward them on his way up to the shrine. 15Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed the following to Samuel: 16\u201cAbout this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the Benjaminite territory. You will anoint him as leader of my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines\u2019 power because I have seen the suffering of my people, and their cry for help has reached me.\u201d 17When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, \u201cThat\u2019s the man I told you about. That\u2019s the one who will rule my people.\u201d 18Saul approached Samuel in the city gate and said, \u201cPlease tell me where the seer\u2019s house is.\u201d 19\u201cI\u2019m the seer,\u201d Samuel told Saul. \u201cGo on ahead of me to the shrine. You can eat with me today. In the morning I\u2019ll send you on your way, and I will tell you everything you want to know. 20As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, don\u2019t be worried about them because they\u2019ve been found. Who owns all of Israel\u2019s treasures, anyway? Isn\u2019t it you and your whole family?\u201d 21\u201cI\u2019m a Benjaminite,\u201d Saul responded, \u201cfrom the smallest Israelite tribe, and my family is the littlest of the families in the tribe of Benjamin. Why would you say something like that to me?\u201d 22Then Samuel took Saul and his young servant and brought them to the banquet room. He gave them an honored place among the invited guests. There were about thirty total. 23Samuel said to the cook, \u201cServe the portion I gave you\u2014the one I told you to set aside.\u201d 24So the cook took the thigh and what was on it, and put it in front of Saul. Samuel said, \u201cLook, what had been reserved is now in front of you. Eat up, because it was set apart for you for this specific occasion, ever since I invited the guests.\u201d So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 25When they came back from the shrine to the town, a bed was made for Saul on the roof, and he slept. 26Near dawn, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, \u201cWake up! I will send you on your way.\u201d So Saul got up, and the two of them, he and Samuel, went outside. 27As they were nearing the edge of town Samuel said, \u201cTell the boy to go on ahead of us\u201d (the servant did so) \u201cbut you stop for a bit so I can tell you God\u2019s word.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0llczJLY0hCM0NUc1I2NWMwTm9uNDhNQUw0UXxBQ3Jtc0trc2JLcWVzeFdONW16aEpsZExFUGhHLWFSVGF1NUs5SkhYYmNWQTRQNVdwSGdZaXhua1BCY3BFNmZZWHhsV0NUdi1NSVJEMEF0UnlkMVhqYzdDQURSY3N5bXBZVFJDS3lFVHJTRU5pUnFVLWJ3RjFJaw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=zO-C65s1PxY\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1There was a wealthy man from the tribe of Benjamin named Kish.
