"Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is.""
— 1 Samuel 9:18, World English 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. ”
“As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he 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 Yahweh had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,
"Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked on my people, because their cry has come to me."
When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh said to him, "Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! this same shall have authority over my people."
Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."
Samuel answered Saul, and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don't set your mind on them; for they are found. For whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you, and for all your father's house?"
Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?"
