The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 09: 1 Kings: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Samuel, 1st
9:22. Then Samuel taking Saul, and his servant, brought them into the
parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited.
For there were about thirty men.
9:23. And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion which I gave thee,
and commanded thee to set it apart by thee.
9:24. And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And
Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat; because
it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate
with Samuel that day.
9:25. And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke
with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on
the top of the house and he slept.
9:26. And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be
light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I
may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them: to wit,
he and Samuel.
9:27. And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to
Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou
still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord.
1 Kings Chapter 10
Saul is anointed. He prophesieth, and is changed into another man.
Samuel calleth the people together, to make a king: the lot falleth on
Saul.
10:1. And Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it upon his head,
and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be
prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of
the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be
a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince.
10:2. When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men
by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and
they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek:
and thy father, thinking no more of the asses, is concerned for you, and
saith: What shall I do for my son?
10:3. And when thou shalt depart from thence, and go farther on, and
shalt come to the oak of Thabor, there shall meet thee three men going
up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another three loaves
of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
Bethel... Where there was at that time an altar of God; it being one of
the places where Samuel judged Israel.
10:4. And they will salute thee, and will give thee two loaves, and thou
shalt take them at their hand.
10:5. After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison
of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city,
thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place,
with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and
they shall be prophesying.
