1 Samuel 10:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ But now you have rejected your God. He saves you from all your troubles and problems. But you said, ‘No! We want a king to rule over us.’ Now come, stand before the Lord in your tribes and family groups.”

²⁰ Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near. And the tribe of Benjamin was chosen. ²¹ Samuel had them pass by in family groups, and Matri’s family was chosen. Then he had each man of Matri’s family pass by. And Saul son of Kish was chosen. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.
