Samuel comes to meet Saul

14So they went up to the city. As they were entering the city, behold, Samuel was coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place.

15Yahweh had revealed to Samuel one day before Saul came, saying,

16About this time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him as ruler over my people Israel. He will save my people from the hand of the Philistines, for I have seen my people, because their cry has come to me.

17When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh answered him, “Look, this is the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall rule over my people.”
