1 Samuel 9:12

Saul Seeks Samuel's Advice

¹¹ As they went up the slope to the city, they found young women going out to draw water and said to them, “Is the seer here?” ¹² They answered them and said, “He is; see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, for the people have a sacrifice on the high place today. ¹³ As soon as you enter the city you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up for you will find him at once.”
