NASB
"So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place."
— 1 Samuel 9:14, NASB
“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.”
“And they went up to the city; and as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place. ”
“They went up to the city; [and] as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.”
“So they went up to the town. As they were heading for the middle of the town, Samuel was coming in their direction to go up to the high place.”
“And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.”
“So they went up to the town, and when they came inside the town, Samuel came face to face with them on his way to the high place.”
“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.”
As they went up the slope to the city, they found young women going out to draw water and said to them, "Is the seer here?"
They answered them and said, "He is; see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, for the people have a sacrifice on the high place today.
"As soon as you enter the city you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up for you will find him at once."
So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.
Now a day before Saul's coming, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel saying,
"About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."
When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, "Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people."
