1 Samuel 9:20-22

New English Translation

²⁰ Don’t be concerned^[a] about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father’s family?”^[b]

²¹ Saul replied, “Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of Israel’s tribes, and is not my family clan the smallest of all the clans in the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?”

²² Then Samuel brought^[c] Saul and his servant into the room and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited. There were about thirty people present.
