1 Samuel 9:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ When they came back from the shrine to the town, a bed was made for Saul on the roof, and he slept.^[a]

²⁶ Near dawn, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Wake up! I will send you on your way.” So Saul got up, and the two of them, he and Samuel, went outside. ²⁷ As they were nearing the edge of town Samuel said, “Tell the boy to go on ahead of us” (the servant did so) “but you stop for a bit so I can tell you God’s word.”
