NET Bible
"As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he said,“Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”"
— 1 Samuel 9:18, NET Bible
“Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is.”
“Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is. ”
“Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."”
“And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer?”
“Then Saul came up to Samuel in the doorway of the town and said, Give me directions, if you will be so good, to the house of the seer.”
“Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is.”
Now the day before Saul arrived, the LORD had told Samuel:
“At this time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin. You must consecrate him as a leader over my people Israel. He will save my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked with favor on my people. Their cry has reached me!”
When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said,“Here is the man that I told you about! He will rule over my people.”
As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he said,“Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
Samuel replied to Saul,“I am the seer! Go up in front of me to the high place! Today you will eat with me and in the morning I will send you away. I will tell you everything that you are thinking.
Don’t be concerned about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father’s family?”
Saul replied,“Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of Israel’s tribes, and is not my family clan the smallest of all the clans in the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?”
