1 Samuel 9:15 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 9:15

13 As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him.”

14 So they went up to the city. As they were coming into the city, there was Samuel, coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

15 ^aNow the Lord had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying,

16 “Tomorrow about this time ^aI will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, ^band you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have ^clooked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”

17 So when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, ^a“There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.”

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please tell me, where is the seer’s house?”
