1 Samuel took a small jar of olive oil and poured it on Saul's head. Then he kissed Saul and told him:The Lord has chosen you to be the leader and ruler of his people.
2 When you leave me today, you'll meet two men near Rachel's tomb at Zelzah in the territory of Benjamin. They'll tell you, “The donkeys you've been looking for have been found. Your father has forgotten about them, and now he's worrying about you! He's wondering how he can find you.”
3 Go on from there until you reach the big oak tree at Tabor, where you'll meet three men on their way to worship God at Bethel. One of them will be leading three young goats, another will be carrying three round loaves of bread, and the last one will be carrying a clay jar of wine.
4 After they greet you, they'll give you two loaves of bread.
