1 Samuel 9:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ Saul answered, “But I’m from the tribe of Benjamin. It’s the smallest tribe in Israel. And my family group is the least important in the whole tribe of Benjamin. So why are you saying that to me?”

²² Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the room where they would be eating. He seated them at the head table. About 30 people had been invited. ²³ Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the piece of meat I gave you. It’s the one I told you to put to one side.”
