1 Samuel 9:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 9
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.
19 Samuel répondit à Saül: C’est moi qui suis le voyant. Monte devant moi au haut lieu, et vous mangerez aujourd’hui avec moi. Je te laisserai partir demain, et je te dirai tout ce qui se passe dans ton cœur.
