NASB
"Now a day before Saul's coming, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel saying,"
— 1 Samuel 9:15, NASB
“Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,”
“Now Jehovah had revealed unto Samuel a day before Saul came, saying, ”
“Now Yahweh had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,”
“Now the day before Saul arrived, the LORD had told Samuel:”
“Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:”
“Now the day before Saul came, the word of God had come to Samuel, saying,”
“Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,”
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."
Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."
