“After that, you should come to the hill of God, where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen when you have come there to the city that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed…”

15"Tell me," Saul's uncle asked, "what did Samuel say to you?"
“Saul's uncle said, tell me, please, what Samuel said to you?”
16And Saul replied, "He assured us that the donkeys had been found." But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.

“And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.”
