1 Samuel 9:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ Saul replied, “^(A)Am I not a Benjamite, of ^(B)the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the ^[a]tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me in this way?”

²² Then Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall and gave them a place at the head of those who were invited, who were about thirty men. ²³ Samuel said to the cook, “^[b]Bring the portion that I gave you, concerning which I said to you, ‘Set it ^[c]aside.’”
