19 Et aujourd’hui, vous rejetez votre Dieu, qui vous a délivrés de tous vos maux et de toutes vos souffrances, et vous lui dites: Établis un roi sur nous! Présentez-vous maintenant devant l’Éternel, selon vos tribus et selon vos milliers.

20 Samuel fit approcher toutes les tribus d’Israël, et la tribu de Benjamin fut désignée.

21 Il fit approcher la tribu de Benjamin par familles, et la famille de Matri fut désignée. Puis Saül, fils de Kis, fut désigné. On le chercha, mais on ne le trouva point.

22 On consulta de nouveau l’Éternel: Y a-t-il encore un homme qui soit venu ici? Et l’Éternel dit: Voici, il est caché vers les bagages.

23 On courut le tirer de là, et il se présenta au milieu du peuple. Il les dépassait tous de la tête.
