1 Samuel 10

11  And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

12  And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?

13  And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.

14  And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.

15  And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.

16  And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.

17  And Samuel called the people together unto Jehovah to Mizpah;

18  And he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:

19  But ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, `Nay', but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.

20  So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
