For I have considered My people, because their outcry has come to Me.' 17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, 'Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people.' 18Then Saul approached Samuel at the gateway and said, 'Please tell me where the seer’s house is.' 19And Samuel answered Saul and said, 'I am the seer. Go up ahead of me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you everything that is on your mind.King James Version
