And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
09:008:014 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
09:008:015 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
09:008:016 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
09:008:017 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
09:008:018 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
09:008:019 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
09:008:020 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
09:008:021 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
09:008:022 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
09:009:001 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
09:009:002 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
09:009:003 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
09:009:004 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
09:009:005 And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
09:009:006 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
09:009:007 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
09:009:008 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
09:009:009 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
09:009:010 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
09:009:011 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
09:009:012 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
09:009:013 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
09:009:014 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
09:009:015 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
09:009:016 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
09:009:017 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
09:009:018 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.
09:009:019 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
09:009:020 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
