Saul answers his uncle

14Then Saul’s uncle said to him and to his young man, “Where did you go?” And he said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel.”

15Then Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”

16Saul said to his uncle, “He plainly told us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingship that Samuel had spoken of.
