1. Samuelsbok 9,24

SamuelSaul

22 Da tok Samuel Saul og hans tjener og førte dem inn i hallen, og ga dem en plass ved hodet av de inviterte—omtrent tretti personer.

23 Og Samuel sa til kokken: "Bring den delen jeg ga deg, som jeg sa til deg, 'Sett den til side.'"

Så tok kokken opp låret og det som var på det og satte det foran Saul. Og Samuel sa: "Se, det som er reservert er satt foran deg. Spis, for det ble holdt for deg til den bestemte tid, siden jeg sa, 'Jeg har invitert folket.'" Så spiste Saul med Samuel den dagen.

25 Etter at de gikk ned fra det høye stedet til byen, samtalte Samuel med Saul på taket.

26 De sto opp tidlig, og ved daggry ropte Samuel til Saul på taket og sa: "Stå opp, så jeg kan sende deg på vei." Så sto Saul opp, og både han og Samuel gikk ut i gaten.
