1Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil, poured it on Saul's head, kissed him, and told him this:
9As Saul was turning away from Samuel to leave, God gave him a changed heart, and all those signs were fulfilled that day.
10When they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets met Saul, and the Spirit of God came upon him with power, and he prophesied among them.
11When everyone who had known him previously saw that Saul was prophesying along with the prophets, the people were surprised and said to each other, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?”
12Someone from that area responded, “Who is their father?” That is why it became a saying: “Is even Saul among the prophets?”
13When Saul had finished prophesying, he arrived at the high place.
14Saul's uncle asked Saul and his servant, “Where did you go?”
Saul said, “To look for the donkeys. But when we realized that we were not succeeding, we went to Samuel.”
15Saul's uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16Saul said to his uncle, “He made it clear to us that the donkeys had been found.”
But Saul did not tell his uncle anything about the matter of the kingship, about which Samuel had also spoken.
17Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah.
18He said to the people of Israel, “This is what the Lord , the God of Israel, says. I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.
19But today you have rejected your God, the one who saves you out of all your disasters and your distress, and you have said to him, ‘You must set a king over us.’ Now line up in the presence of the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.”
20So Samuel brought forward all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.[#10:20 Probably they were identified by the Urim and Thummim. See 14:41.]
21Then he brought forward the tribe of Benjamin by its clans, and the clan of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen, but when they looked for him, he could not be found.[#10:21 The Greek text includes words not present in the Hebrew text. They are marked by half-brackets: He brought forward the tribe of Benjamin by its clans, and the clan of the Matrites was chosen. ⸤Finally he brought forward the clan of the Matrites man by man.⸥ Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen.]
22Therefore they asked the Lord again, “Has the man arrived here yet?”
The Lord answered, “He has. Look, he is hiding among the baggage.”
23So they ran and brought him from there. When he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the people.
24Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the Lord has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.”
All the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
25Samuel told the people the regulations concerning the kingship, and he wrote them on a scroll, which was placed before the Lord . Then Samuel sent all the people away, each man to his own house.
26Saul went home to Gibeah, and the army went with him, those men whose hearts God had touched.
27But certain worthless good-for-nothings said, “How can this man save us?” They despised him and brought him no gift, but Saul said nothing.
