1 Samuel 9:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 9

15 E um dia antes que Saul viesse, o SENHOR havia revelado ao ouvido de Samuel, dizendo:

16 Amanhã a esta mesma hora eu enviarei a ti um homem da terra de Benjamim, ao qual ungirás por príncipe sobre meu povo Israel, e salvará meu povo da mão dos filisteus: pois eu olhei a meu povo, porque seu clamor há chegado até mim.

17 E logo que Samuel viu a Saul, o SENHOR lhe disse: Eis que este é o homem do qual te falei; este dominará a meu povo.

18 E chegando Saul a Samuel em meio da porta, disse-lhe: Rogo-te que me ensines onde está a casa do vidente.

19 E Samuel respondeu a Saul, e disse: Eu sou o vidente: sobe diante de mim ao alto, e comei hoje comigo, e pela manhã te despacharei, e te revelarei tudo o que está em teu coração.
