10. Saul said to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.
11. As they went up the hill to the city, they met young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?
12. They answered, He is; behold, he is just beyond you. Hurry, for he came today to the city because the people have a sacrifice today on the high place.
13. As you enter the city, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he comes to ask the blessing on the sacrifice. Afterward, those who are invited eat. So go on up, for about now you will find him.
14. So they went up to the city, and as they were entering, behold, Samuel came toward them, going up to the high place.
15. Now a day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed to Samuel in his ear,
16. Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be leader over My people Israel; and he shall save them out of the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon the distress of My people, because their cry has come to Me.
17. When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, There is the man of whom I told you. He shall have authority over My people.
18. Then Saul came near to Samuel in the gate and said, Tell me where is the seer's house?
19. Samuel answered Saul, I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today, and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is on your mind.
20. As for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be thinking about them, for they are found. And for whom are all the desirable things of Israel? Are they not for you and for all your father's house?
