10 Saül dit à son serviteur: Tu as raison: viens, allons! Et ils se rendirent à la ville où était l’homme de Dieu.

11 Comme ils montaient à la ville, ils rencontrèrent des jeunes filles sorties pour puiser de l’eau, et ils leur dirent: Le voyant est-il ici?

12 Elles leur répondirent en disant: Oui, il est devant toi; mais va promptement, car aujourd’hui il est venu à la ville parce qu’il y a un sacrifice pour le peuple sur le haut lieu.

13 Quand vous serez entrés dans la ville, vous le trouverez avant qu’il monte au haut lieu pour manger; car le peuple ne mangera point qu’il ne soit arrivé, parce qu’il doit bénir le sacrifice; après quoi, les conviés mangeront. Montez donc, car maintenant vous le trouverez.
