1 Samuel 9:21 in Context — 1 Samuel 9
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.
20 E das asnas que se te perderam hoje há três dias, deixa de se preocupar com elas, porque se acharam. Mas a quem é todo o desejo de Israel, se não a ti e a toda a casa de teu pai?
21 E Saul respondeu, e disse: Não sou eu filho de Benjamim, das menores tribos de Israel? e minha família não é a mais pequena de todas as famílias da tribo de Benjamim? por que pois me disseste coisa semelhante?
22 E tomando Samuel a Saul e a seu criado, meteu-os na sala, e deu-lhes lugar à cabeceira dos convidados, que eram como uns trinta homens.
23 E disse Samuel ao cozinheiro: Traze aqui a porção que te dei, a qual te disse que guardasses à parte.
