14 So Saul and the boy went up to the town, and as they entered it, suddenly Samuel came toward them on his way up to the shrine.
15 Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed the following to Samuel:
16 "About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the Benjaminite territory. You will anoint him as leader of my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines’ power because I have seen the suffering of my people, and their cry for help has reached me."
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, "That’s the man I told you about. That’s the one who will rule my people."
18 Saul approached Samuel in the city gate and said, "Please tell me where the seer’s house is."
19 "I’m the seer," Samuel told Saul. "Go on ahead of me to the shrine. You can eat with me today. In the morning I’ll send you on your way, and I will tell you everything you want to know.
20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, don’t be worried about them because they’ve been found. Who owns all of Israel’s treasures, anyway? Isn’t it you and your whole family?"
