¹⁵ Now Jehovah had revealed unto Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,

²¹ And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

¹ And Samuel said unto Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of Jehovah.

²³ For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

¹³ And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him;

¹⁴ and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

¹⁵ And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished `and' ready: and there make ready for us.

¹⁶ And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

² and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

³ And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.

⁴ And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.

⁷ Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.

¹⁴ The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.

¹⁶ Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,

²⁷ For thou, O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

² And he said unto him, Far from it; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

¹⁷ And when Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah said unto him, Behold, the man of whom I spake to thee! this same shall have authority over my people.
