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?
21. And Saul said, Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And is not my family the least of all the families of the clans of Benjamin? Why then do you speak this way to me?
22. Then Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the guest room [at the high place] and had them sit in the chief place among the persons–about thirty of them–who were invited. [The other people feasted outside.]
