1 Samuel 9:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is on your mind. 20 (A)As for your donkeys which were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And (B)for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father’s household?” 21 Saul replied, “(C)Am I not a Benjamite, of (D)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?”

New International Version
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. 20 As for the donkeys(A) you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire(B) of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”
21 Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe(C) of Israel, and is not my clan the least(D) of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin?(E) Why do you say such a thing to me?”
