14 Et ils montèrent à la ville. Ils étaient arrivés au milieu de la ville, quand ils furent rencontrés par Samuel qui sortait pour monter au haut lieu.
15 Or, un jour avant l’arrivée de Saül, l’Éternel avait averti Samuel, en disant:
16 Demain, à cette heure, je t’enverrai un homme du pays de Benjamin, et tu l’oindras pour chef de mon peuple d’Israël. Il sauvera mon peuple de la main des Philistins; car j’ai regardé mon peuple, parce que son cri est venu jusqu’à moi.
17 Lorsque Samuel eut aperçu Saül, l’Éternel lui dit: Voici l’homme dont je t’ai parlé; c’est lui qui régnera sur mon peuple.
18 Saül s’approcha de Samuel au milieu de la porte, et dit: Indique-moi, je te prie, où est la maison du voyant.
