1 And [there was] a man of the sons of Benjamin, and his name [was] Kis, the son of Abiel, the son of Jared, the son of Bachir, the son of Aphec, the son of a Benjamite, a man of might. 2 And this man [had] a son, and his name was Saul, of great stature, a goodly man; and there was not among the sons of Israel a goodlier than he, high above all the people from his shoulders and upward. 3 And the asses of Kis the father of Saul were lost; and Kis said to Saul his son, Take with thee one of the young men, and arise ye, and go seek the asses. 4 And they went through mount Ephraim, and they went through the land of Selcha, and found them not: and they passed through the land of Segalim, and they were not there: and they passed through the land of Jamin, and found them not. 5 And when they came to Siph, then Saul said to his young man that was with him, Come and let us return, lest my father leave the asses, and take care for us. 6 And the young man said to him, Behold now, [there is] a man of God in this city, and the man [is] of high repute; all that he shall speak will surely come to pass: now then let us go, that he may tell us our way on which we have set out. 7 And Saul said to his young man that was with him, Lo, then, we will go; but what shall we bring the man of God? for the loaves are spent out of our vessels, and we have nothing more with us that belongs to us to bring to the man of God. 8 And the young man answered Saul again, and said, Behold, there is found in my hand a fourth part of a shekel of silver; and thou shalt give it to the man of God, and he shall tell us our way. 9 Now before time in Israel every one in going to enquire of God said, Come and let us go to the seer; for the people beforetime called the prophet, the seer. 10 And Saul said to his servant, Well said, come and let us go: and they went to the city where the man of God was. 11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they find damsels come out to draw water, and they say to them, Is the seer here? 12 And the virgins answered them, and they say to them, He is: behold, [he is] before you: now he is coming to the city, because of the day, for to-day [there is] a sacrifice for the people in Bama. 13 As soon as ye shall enter into the city, so shall ye find him in the city, before he goes up to Bama to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes in, for he blesses the sacrifice, and afterwards the guests eat; now then go up, for ye shall find him because of the holiday. 14 And they go up to the city; and as they were entering into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel came out to meet them, to go up to Bama. 15 And the Lord uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before Saul came to him, saying, 16 At this time to-morrow I will send to thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel, and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon the humiliation of my people, for their cry is come unto me. 17 And Samuel looked upon Saul, and the Lord answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee, this one shall rule over my people. 18 And Saul drew near to Samuel into the midst of the city, and said, Tell me now which [is] the house of the seer? 19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am he: go up before me to Bama, and eat with me to-day, and I will send thee away in the morning, and I will tell thee all that is in thine heart. 20 And concerning thine asses that have been lost now these three days, care not for them, for they are found. And to whom does the excellency of Israel belong? does it not to thee and to thy father’s house? 21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I the son of a Benjamite, the least tribe of the people of Israel? and of the least family of the whole tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou spoken to me according to this word? 22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them to the inn, and set them there a place among the chief of those that were called, about seventy men. 23 And Samuel said to the cook, Give me the portion which I gave thee, which I told thee to set by thee. 24 Now the cook [had] boiled the shoulder, and he set it before Saul; and Samuel said to Saul, Behold that which is left: set before thee, and eat; for it is set thee for a testimony in preference to the others; take [of it]: and Saul ate with Samuel on that day. 25 And he went down from Bama into the city; and they prepared a lodging for Saul on the roof, and he lay down. 26 And it came to pass when the morning dawned, that Samuel called Saul on the roof, saying, Rise up, and I will dismiss thee. And Saul arose, and he and Samuel went out. 27 As they went down to a part of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Speak to the young man, and let him pass on before us; and do thou stand as to-day, and hearken to the word of God.

ΚΑΙ ἀνὴρ ἐξ υἱῶν Βενιαμίν, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Κίς, υἱὸς ᾿Αβιήλ, υἱοῦ ᾿Ιαρέδ, υἱοῦ Βαχίρ, υἱοῦ ᾿Αφέκ, υἱοῦ ἀνδρὸς ᾿Ιεμιναίου, ἀνὴρ δυνατός. 2 καὶ τούτῳ υἱός, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σαούλ, εὐμεγέθης, ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀγαθὸς ὑπὲρ αὐτόν, ὑπερωμίαν καὶ ἐπάνω ὑψηλὸς ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν. 3 καὶ ἀπώλοντο αἱ ὄνοι Κὶς πατρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ εἶπε Κὶς πρὸς Σαοὺλ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· λαβὲ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ ἀνάστητε καὶ πορεύθητε καὶ ζητήσατε τὰς ὄνους. 4 καὶ διῆλθον δι᾿ ὄρους ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Σελχὰ καὶ οὐχ εὗρον· καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς Σεγαλείμ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν· καὶ διῆλθον διὰ τῆς γῆς ᾿Ιαμὶν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον. 5 αὐτῶν δὲ ἐλθόντων εἰς τὴν Σίφ, καὶ Σαοὺλ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· δεῦρο καὶ ἀποστρέψωμεν, μὴ ἀνεὶς ὁ πατήρ μου τὰς ὄνους φροντίζῃ τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν· 6 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ παιδάριον· ἰδοὺ δὴ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἔνδοξος, πᾶν, ὃ ἐὰν λαλήσῃ, παραγινόμενον παρέσται· καὶ νῦν πορευθῶμεν, ὅπως ἀπαγγείλῃ ἡμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν, ἐφ᾿ ἣν ἐπορεύθημεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν. 7 καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ πορευσόμεθα, καὶ τὶ οἴσομεν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ; ὅτι οἱ ἄρτοι ἐκλελοίπασιν ἐκ τῶν ἀγγείων ἡμῶν, καὶ πλεῖον οὐκ ἔστι μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν εἰσενεγκεῖν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ ὑπάρχον ἡμῖν. 8 καὶ προσέθετο τὸ παιδάριον ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ εὕρηται ἐν τῇ χειρί μου τέταρτον σίκλου ἀργυρίου, καὶ δώσεις τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖ ἡμῖν τὴν ὁδὸν ἡμῶν. 9 καὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ τάδε ἔλεγεν ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι ἐπερωτᾶν τὸν Θεόν· δεῦρο καὶ πορευθῶμεν πρὸς τὸν βλέποντα· ὅτι τὸν προφήτην ἐκάλει ὁ λαὸς ἔμπροσθεν ῾Ο βλέπων. 10 καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ· ἀγαθόν τὸ ῥῆμα, δεῦρο καὶ πορευθῶμεν. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὗ ἦν ἐκεῖ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ. 11 αὐτῶν ἀναβαινόντων τὴν ἀνάβασιν τῆς πόλεως καὶ αὐτοὶ εὑρίσκουσι τὰ κοράσια ἐξεληλυθότα ὑδρεύεσθαι ὕδωρ καὶ λέγουσιν αὐταῖς· εἰ ἔστιν ἐνταῦθα ῾Ο βλέπων; 12 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὰ κοράσια αὐτοῖς καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτοῖς· ἔστιν, ἰδοὺ κατὰ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν· νῦν διὰ τὴν ἡμέραν ἥκει εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ὅτι θυσία σήμερον τῷ λαῷ ἐν Βαμᾷ· 13 ὡς ἂν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὕτως εὑρήσετε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ πόλει πρὶν ἀναβῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς Βαμᾶ τοῦ φαγεῖν· ὅτι οὐ μὴ φάγῃ ὁ λαὸς ἕως τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὗτος εὐλογεῖ τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐσθίουσιν οἱ ξένοι· καὶ νῦν ἀνάβητε, ὅτι διὰ τὴν ἡμέραν εὑρήσετε αὐτόν. 14 καὶ ἀναβαίνουσι τὴν πόλιν. αὐτῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς μέσον τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαμουὴλ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὴν ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν τοῦ ἀναβῆναι εἰς Βαμᾶ. 15 καὶ Κύριος ἀπεκάλυψε τὸ ὠτίον Σαμουὴλ ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν Σαοὺλ λέγων· 16 ὡς ὁ καιρός, αὔριον ἀποστελῶ πρός σε ἄνδρα ἐκ γῆς Βενιαμίν, καὶ χρίσεις αὐτὸν εἰς ἄρχοντα ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ σώσει τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων· ὅτι ἐπέβλεψα ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου, ὅτι ἦλθε βοὴ αὐτῶν πρός με. 17 καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἶδε τὸν Σαούλ· καὶ Κύριος ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὃν εἶπά σοι, οὗτος ἄρξει ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου. 18 καὶ προσήγαγε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Σαμουὴλ εἰς μέσον τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπάγγειλον δὴ ποῖος ὁ οἶκος τοῦ βλέποντος. 19 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σαμουὴλ τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτός· ἀνάβηθι ἔμπροσθέν μου εἰς Βαμᾶ καὶ φάγε μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ σήμερον, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ σε πρωΐ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἀπαγγελῶ σοι· 20 καὶ περὶ τῶν ὄνων σου τῶν ἀπολωλυιῶν σήμερον τριταίων μὴ θῇς τὴνκαρδίαν σου αὐταῖς, ὅτι εὕρηνται· καὶ τίνι τὰ ὡραῖα τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ; οὐ σοὶ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου; 21 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σαοὺλ καὶ εἶπεν· οὐχὶ ἀνδρὸς υἱὸς ᾿Ιεμιναίου ἐγώ εἰμι τοῦ μικροῦ σκήπτρου φυλῆς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ τῆς φυλῆς τῆς ἐλαχίστης ἐξ ὅλους σκήπτρου Βενιαμίν; καὶ ἱνατί ἐλάλησας πρὸς ἐμὲ κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο; 22 καὶ ἔλαβε Σαμουὴλ τὸν Σαοὺλ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ κατάλυμα καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖ τόπον ἐν πρώτοις τῶν κεκλημένων ὡσεὶ ἑβδομήκοντα ἀνδρῶν. 23 καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ τῷ μαγείρῳ· δός μοι τὴν μερίδα, ἣν ἔδωκά σοι, ἣν εἶπά σοι θεῖναι αὐτὴν παρά σοι. 24 καὶ ἥψησεν ὁ μάγειρος τὴν κωλέαν, καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτὴν ἐνώπιον Σαούλ· καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ τῷ Σαούλ· ἰδοὺ ὑπόλειμμα, παράθες αὐτὸ ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ φάγε, ὅτι μαρτύριον τέθειταί σοι παρὰ τοὺς ἄλλους· ἀπόκνιζε. καὶ ἔφαγε Σαοὺλ μετὰ Σαμουὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ. 25 καὶ κατέβη ἐκ τῆς Βαμᾶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ διέστρωσαν τῷ Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τῷ δώματι, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη. 26 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀνέβαινεν ὁ ὄρθρος, καὶ ἐκάλεσε Σαμουὴλ τὸν Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τῷ δώματι λέγων· ἀνάστα, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ σε· καὶ ἀνέστη Σαούλ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτὸς καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἕως ἔξω. 27 αὐτῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς μέρος τῆς πόλεως καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἶπε τῷ Σαούλ· εἰπὸν τῷ νεανίσκῳ καὶ διελθέτω ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν, καὶ σὺ στῆθι ὡς σήμερον καὶ ἄκουσον ρῆμα Θεοῦ.
