1 Samuel 10:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ But you ^(A)have today rejected your God, who delivers you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have ^[a]said, ‘No, but set a king over us!’ Now therefore, ^(B)present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your clans.”

²⁰ Thus Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot. ²¹ Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the Matrite family was taken. And Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.
