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.
20 Ne t’inquiète pas des ânesses que tu as perdues il y a trois jours, car elles sont retrouvées. Et pour qui est réservé tout ce qu’il y a de précieux en Israël? N’est-ce pas pour toi et pour toute la maison de ton père?
21 Saül répondit: Ne suis-je pas Benjamite, de l’une des plus petites tribus d’Israël? Et ma famille n’est-elle pas la moindre de toutes les familles de la tribu de Benjamin? Pourquoi donc me parles-tu de la sorte?
22 Samuel prit Saül et son serviteur, les fit entrer dans la salle, et leur donna une place à la tête des conviés, qui étaient environ trente hommes.
23 Samuel dit au cuisinier: Sers la portion que je t’ai donnée, en te disant: Mets-la à part.
