1 Samuel 9:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 9
2 Il avait un fils du nom de Saül, jeune et beau, plus beau qu’aucun des enfants d’Israël, et les dépassant tous de la tête.
3 Les ânesses de Kis, père de Saül, s’égarèrent; et Kis dit à Saül, son fils: Prends avec toi l’un des serviteurs, lève-toi, va, et cherche les ânesses.
4 Il passa par la montagne d’Éphraïm et traversa le pays de Schalischa, sans les trouver; ils passèrent par le pays de Schaalim, et elles n’y étaient pas; ils parcoururent le pays de Benjamin, et ils ne les trouvèrent pas.
5 Ils étaient arrivés dans le pays de Tsuph, lorsque Saül dit à son serviteur qui l’accompagnait: Viens, retournons, de peur que mon père, oubliant les ânesses, ne soit en peine de nous.
6 Le serviteur lui dit: Voici, il y a dans cette ville un homme de Dieu, et c’est un homme considéré; tout ce qu’il dit ne manque pas d’arriver. Allons y donc; peut-être nous fera-t-il connaître le chemin que nous devons prendre.
