1 Samuel prit une fiole d’huile, qu’il répandit sur la tête de Saül. Il le baisa, et dit: L’Éternel ne t’a-t-il pas oint pour que tu sois le chef de son héritage?

2 Aujourd’hui, après m’avoir quitté, tu trouveras deux hommes près du sépulcre de Rachel, sur la frontière de Benjamin, à Tseltsach. Ils te diront: Les ânesses que tu es allé chercher sont retrouvées; et voici, ton père ne pense plus aux ânesses, mais il est en peine de vous, et dit: Que dois-je faire au sujet de mon fils?

3 De là tu iras plus loin, et tu arriveras au chêne de Thabor, où tu seras rencontré par trois hommes montant vers Dieu à Béthel, et portant l’un trois chevreaux, l’autre trois gâteaux de pain, et l’autre une outre de vin.
