1 Samuel 9:21-23

Good News Translation

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. ²³ Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the piece of meat I gave you, which I told you to set aside.”
