1 Samuel 9:15-17
English Standard Version
15 Now the day before Saul came, (A)the Lord had (B)revealed to Samuel: 16 “Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, (C)and you shall anoint him to be prince[a] over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines. (D)For I have seen[b] my people, because their cry has come to me.” 17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, (E)“Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! He it is who shall restrain my people.”
