1 Samuel 9:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ But the LORD had revealed to Samuel secretly (a day before Saul came) saying,

¹⁶ “Tomorrow, about this time, I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin. You shall anoint him to be Governor over My people, Israel, so that he may save My people out of the hands of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people and their cry has come to Me.”

¹⁷ Therefore, when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD answered him, “See, this is the man of whom I spoke to you. He shall rule My people.”
