1 Samuel 9:22 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 9:22

20 But as for ^ayour donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And¹ on whom ^bis all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father’s house?”

21 And Saul answered and said, ^a“Am I not a Benjamite, of the ^bsmallest of the tribes of Israel, and ^cmy family the least of all the families of the¹ tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?”

22 Now Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall, and had them sit in the place of honor among those who were invited; there were about thirty persons.

23 And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Set it apart.’ ”

24 So the cook took up ^athe thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, “Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people.” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

25 When they had come down from the high place into the city,¹ Samuel spoke with Saul on ^athe top of the house.

26 They arose early; and it was about the dawning of the day that Samuel called to Saul on the top of the house, saying, “Get up, that I may send you on your way.” And Saul arose, and both of them went outside, he and Samuel.
