10:1 Then
Samuel
took
a
flask
of
oil
and
poured
it
on
his
head
and
kissed
him
and
said,
"Has
not
the
LORD
anointed
you
to
be
prince
over
his
people
Israel
And
you
shall
reign
over
the
people
of
the
LORD
and
you
will
save
them
from
the
hand
of
their
surrounding
enemies.
And
this
shall
be
the
sign
to
you
that
the
LORD
has
anointed
you
to
be
prince
over
his
heritage.
10:2 When
you
depart
from
me
today,
you
will
meet
two
men
by
Rachel's
tomb
in
the
territory
of
Benjamin
at
Zelzah,
and
they
will
say
to
you,
'The
donkeys
that
you
went
to
seek
are
found,
and
now
your
father
has
ceased
to
care
about
the
donkeys
and
is
anxious
about
you,
saying,
"What
shall
I
do
about
my
son"'
10:3 Then
you
shall
go
on
from
there
farther
and
come
to
the
oak
of
Tabor.
Three
men
going
up
to
God
at
Bethel
will
meet
you
there,
one
carrying
three
young
goats,
another
carrying
three
loaves
of
bread,
and
another
carrying
a
skin
of
wine.
10:4 And
they
will
greet
you
and
give
you
two
loaves
of
bread,
which
you
shall
accept
from
their
hand.
10:5 After
that
you
shall
come
to
Gibeath-elohim,
where
there
is
a
garrison
of
the
Philistines.
And
there,
as
soon
as
you
come
to
the
city,
you
will
meet
a
group
of
prophets
coming
down
from
the
high
place
with
harp,
tambourine,
flute,
and
lyre
before
them,
prophesying.
10:6 Then
the
Spirit
of
the
LORD
will
rush
upon
you,
and
you
will
prophesy
with
them
and
be
turned
into
another
man.
10:7 Now
when
these
signs
meet
you,
do
what
your
hand
finds
to
do,
for
God
is
with
you.
10:8 Then
go
down
before
me
to
Gilgal.
And
behold,
I
am
coming
to
you
to
offer
burnt
offerings
and
to
sacrifice
peace
offerings.
Seven
days
you
shall
wait,
until
I
come
to
you
and
show
you
what
you
shall
do."
10:9 When
he
turned
his
back
to
leave
Samuel,
God
gave
him
another
heart.
And
all
these
signs
came
to
pass
that
day.
10:10 When
they
came
to
Gibeah,
behold,
a
group
of
prophets
met
him,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
rushed
upon
him,
and
he
prophesied
among
them.
10:11 And
when
all
who
knew
him
previously
saw
how
he
prophesied
with
the
prophets,
the
people
said
to
one
another,
"What
has
come
over
the
son
of
Kish
Is
Saul
also
among
the
prophets"
10:12 And
a
man
of
the
place
answered,
"And
who
is
their
father"
Therefore
it
became
a
proverb,
"Is
Saul
also
among
the
prophets"
10:13 When
he
had
finished
prophesying,
he
came
to
the
high
place.
10:14 Saul's
uncle
said
to
him
and
to
his
servant,
"Where
did
you
go"
And
he
said,
"To
seek
the
donkeys.
And
when
we
saw
they
were
not
to
be
found,
we
went
to
Samuel."
10:15 And
Saul's
uncle
said,
"Please
tell
me
what
Samuel
said
to
you."
10:16 And
Saul
said
to
his
uncle,
"He
told
us
plainly
that
the
donkeys
had
been
found."
But
about
the
matter
of
the
kingdom,
of
which
Samuel
had
spoken,
he
did
not
tell
him
anything.
10:17 Now
Samuel
called
the
people
together
to
the
LORD
at
Mizpah.
10:18 And
he
said
to
the
people
of
Israel,
"Thus
says
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
'I
brought
up
Israel
out
of
Egypt,
and
I
delivered
you
from
the
hand
of
the
Egyptians
and
from
the
hand
of
all
the
kingdoms
that
were
oppressing
you.'
10:19 But
today
you
have
rejected
your
God,
who
saves
you
from
all
your
calamities
and
your
distresses,
and
you
have
said
to
him,
'Set
a
king
over
us.'
Now
therefore
present
yourselves
before
the
LORD
by
your
tribes
and
by
your
thousands."
10:20 Then
Samuel
brought
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
near,
and
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
was
taken
by
lot.
10:21 He
brought
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
near
by
its
clans,
and
the
clan
of
the
Matrites
was
taken
by
lot;
and
Saul
the
son
of
Kish
was
taken
by
lot.
But
when
they
sought
him,
he
could
not
be
found.
10:22 So
they
inquired
again
of
the
LORD,
"Is
there
a
man
still
to
come"
and
the
LORD
said,
"Behold,
he
has
hidden
himself
among
the
baggage."
10:23 Then
they
ran
and
took
him
from
there.
And
when
he
stood
among
the
people,
he
was
taller
than
any
of
the
people
from
his
shoulders
upward.
10:24 And
Samuel
said
to
all
the
people,
"Do
you
see
him
whom
the
LORD
has
chosen
There
is
none
like
him
among
all
the
people."
And
all
the
people
shouted,
"Long
live
the
king!"
10:25 Then
Samuel
told
the
people
the
rights
and
duties
of
the
kingship,
and
he
wrote
them
in
a
book
and
laid
it
up
before
the
LORD.
Then
Samuel
sent
all
the
people
away,
each
one
to
his
home.
10:26 Saul
also
went
to
his
home
at
Gibeah,
and
with
him
went
men
of
valor
whose
hearts
God
had
touched.
10:27 But
some
worthless
fellows
said,
"How
can
this
man
save
us"
And
they
despised
him
and
brought
him
no
present.
But
he
held
his
peace.
