21 E hizo llegar la tribu de Benjamín por sus linajes, y fué tomada la familia de Matri; y [de ella] fué tomado Saúl hijo de Cis. Y le buscaron, mas no fué hallado.

22 Preguntaron pues otra vez á Jehová, si había aún de venir allí aquel varón. Y respondió Jehová: He aquí que él está escondido entre el bagaje.

23 Entonces corrieron, y tomáronlo de allí, y puesto en medio del pueblo, desde el hombro arriba era más alto que todo el pueblo.

24 Y Samuel dijo á todo el pueblo: ¿Habéis visto al que ha elegido Jehová, que no hay semejante á él en todo el pueblo? Entonces el pueblo clamó con alegría, diciendo: Viva el rey.
