1 Samuel 9:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ As for the donkeys that were lost three days ago, don't worry about them; they have already been found. But who is it that the people of Israel want so much?^[a] It is you—you and your father's family.”

²¹ Saul answered, “I belong to the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel, and my family is the least important one in the tribe. Why, then, do you talk like this to me?”

²² Then Samuel led Saul and his servant into the large room and gave them a place at the head of the table where the guests, about thirty in all, were seated.
