15. Now the day before Saul’s arrival, the Lord had informed Samuel,
16. “At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over My people Israel. He will save them from the hand of the Philistines because I have seen the affliction of My people, for their cry has come to Me.”
17. When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, “Here is the man I told you about; he will rule over My people.”
