1 Samuel 10:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ But today you have rejected your God who himself delivers you from all of your adversities and difficulties. You have said to him, ‘Appoint a king over us.’ Now present yourselves before the Lord by tribes and by clans.”

²⁰ When Samuel had all of the tribes of Israel approach him, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot. ²¹ Then he had the tribe of Benjamin approach him clan by clan, and the clan of Matri was chosen. Finally Saul, the son of Kish, was chosen. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
