19 Y Samuel respondió á Saúl, y dijo: Yo soy el vidente: sube delante de mí al alto, y comed hoy conmigo, y por la mañana te despacharé, y te descubriré todo lo que está en tu corazón.
20 Y de las asnas que se te perdieron hoy ha tres días, pierde cuidado de ellas, porque se han hallado. Mas ¿por quién es todo el deseo de Israel, sino por ti y por toda la casa de tu padre?
21 Y Saúl respondió, y dijo: ¿No soy yo hijo de Benjamín, de las más pequeñas tribus de Israel? Y mi familia ¿[no es] la más pequeña de todas las familias de la tribu de Benjamín? ¿por qué pues me has dicho cosa semejante?

23 Y dijo Samuel al cocinero: Trae acá la porción que te dí, la cual te dije que guardases aparte.
