1 Samuel 10:19-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁹ But now you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and distresses. You said, ‘No! Place a king over us.’ Now then, stand in front of the Lord by your tribes and family groups.”

²⁰ When Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen. ²¹ When he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by families, the family of Matri was chosen. Then Saul, the son of Kish, was chosen. They looked for him but couldn’t find him.
