1 Samuel 10:1-3

Lexham English Bible

Saul Is Anointed as King

10 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it over his head and kissed him and said, “Has not^[a] Yahweh anointed you as leader over his inheritance? ² As you go from with me today,^[b] you will find two men near the burial site of Rachel in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will say to you, ‘The female donkeys that you went to search for have been found.’ Now look, your father is no longer concerned about^[c] the female donkeys and has begun worrying about you,^[d] saying, ‘What should I do about my son?’ ³ Then you will go on from there and further you will come to the oak of Tabor. There three men will meet you, who are going up to God at Bethel. One will be carrying three male kid goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a skin of wine.
