1 Samuel 9:16
Compare all
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?”
19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.

1 Samuel 9:15-16

GOD REVEALS TO SAMUEL SAUL'S COMING, AND HIS APPOINTMENT TO THE KINGDOM. (I Samuel 9:15-27)

Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before—The description of Saul, the time of his arrival, and the high office to which he was destined, had been secretly intimated to Samuel from heaven. The future king of Israel was to fight the battles of the Lord and protect His people. It would appear that they were at this time suffering great molestation from the Philistines, and that this was an additional reason of their urgent demands for the appointment of a king (see I Samuel 10:5; I Samuel 13:3).
