1 Samuel 9:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 The day before Saul’s arrival, the Lord had revealed to Samuel:(A) 16 At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin whom you are to anoint as ruler of my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked upon my people; their cry has come to me.(B) 17 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord assured him: This is the man I told you about; he shall govern my people.
