he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? 010:012 One of the same place answered, Who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 010:013 When he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 010:014 Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went you? He said, To seek the donkeys; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel. 010:015 Saul's uncle said, Tell me, Please, what Samuel said to you. 010:016 Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn't tell him. 010:017 Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah; 010:018 and he said to the children of Israel, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you: 010:019 but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, [No], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes, and by your thousands. 010:020 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 010:021 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found. 010:022 Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, Is there yet a man to come here? Yahweh answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage. 010:023 They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 010:024 Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, [Long] live the king. 010:025 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. 010:026 Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the army, whose hearts God had touched. 010:027 But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? They despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace. 011:001 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you. 011:002 Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On this condition will I
