1 Samuel 9:12

Saul Seeks Samuel's Advice

¹¹ They were going up the ascent of the city, when they found young women, coming out to draw water, - so they said unto these, Is, the seer, in this place? ¹² And the young women answered them and said: He is, lo! before you now, even as, to-day, hath he entered the city, for the people have a sacrifice, to-day, in the high place. ¹³ As ye enter the city, so, shall ye surely find him, ere yet he shall go up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he hath come, for, he, doth bless the sacrifice, after that, will they eat who have been bidden. Now, therefore, go up, for, about this very time, shall ye surely find him.
