1 Samuel 9:23-25
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
23 And Samuel said to the cook, ‘Bring the portion I gave you, the one I asked you to put aside.’ 24 The cook took up the thigh and what went with it[a] and set them before Saul. Samuel said, ‘See, what was kept is set before you. Eat; for it is set[b] before you at the appointed time, so that you might eat with the guests.’[c]
So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 25 When they came down from the shrine into the town, a bed was spread for Saul[d] on the roof, and he lay down to sleep.[e]
