Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version

13After Saul finished prophesying, he went to the place of worship.
14Saul’s uncle asked Saul and his servant, “Where have you been?” Saul said, “We were looking for the donkeys. When we couldn’t find them, we went to see Samuel.”
15Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me, what did Samuel say to you?”

17Samuel told all the Israelites to meet together with the Lord at Mizpah.
18Samuel told the Israelites, “The Lord, the God of Israel says, ‘I led Israel out of Egypt. I saved you from Egypt’s control and from the other kingdoms that tried to hurt you.’
