1Sam 9, 1-27

1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. 2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a better person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. 3 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go seek the asses. 4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. 5 "And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us. " 6 "And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he says comes surely to pass: now let us go thither; possibly he can show us our way that we should go. " 7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we? 8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. 9 (in time past in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was in time past called a Seer.) 10 "Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was. " 11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here? 12 "And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place: " 13 "As soon as all of you be come into the city, all of you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he comes, because he does bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time all of you shall find him. " 14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, in order to go up to the high place. 15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, 16 Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come unto me. 17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spoke to you of! this same shall reign over my people. 18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray you, where the seer's house is. 19 "And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for all of you shall eat with me to day, and tomorrow I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart. " 20 "And as for your asses that were lost three days ago, set not your mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you, and on all your father's house? " 21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speak you so to me? 22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons. 23 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said unto you, Set it by you. 24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before you, and eat: for unto this time has it been kept for you since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. 25 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house. 26 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send you away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 27 And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand you still a while, that I may show you the word of God.

Verš 9

(in time past in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was in time past called a Seer.)

Gn 25:22 - "And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. "

1Sam 9,4 - Efraimské pohorie sa rozprestiera od Betela na sever až po rovinu Esdrelon (Jezrahel) v dĺžke asi 100 km a od roviny Sáron na východ až po údolie Jordána v šírke asi 50 km. – Kraje Salisa a Salim sú nám neznáme. O kraji Jemini si mnohí myslia, že je to územie Benjamíncov, ale je to nie isté. Mužov, ktorí sa volali Jemini, bolo viac (Gn 46,10; Nm 26,12; 1 Krn 2,27; Neh 8,7).

1Sam 9,5 - V krajine Súf bolo Samuelovo rodisko Ráma, ktorá sa azda preto volala Ramataim Sofim. Krajina mohla mať meno po Elkánovom pradedovi, ktorý sa volal Súf (1,1).

1Sam 9,6 - Mesto, v ktorom sú, je Ráma a muž Boží je Samuel.

1Sam 9,7 - Na východe pokladali a na mnohých miestach podnes pokladajú za nezdvorilosť prísť na návštevu, a hlavne prísť s prosbou, bez daru.

1Sam 9,8 - Celý strieborný šekel vážil 14,55 gr.

1Sam 9,12 - "Výšiny" boli kopce, na ktorých sa konala ináč zakázaná bohoslužba a niekedy aj modlárstvo. Samuel však koná z rozkazu Božieho.

1Sam 9,21 - Kmeň Benjamínov bol len nedávno skoro vyhubený (Sdc 20 n.), preto je najmenší.

1Sam 9,24 - Zo zdvorilosti hovorí Samuel, že mu dáva len zvyšok, hoci mu predkladá najlepší kus.

1Sam 9,25 - Strechy domov v Palestíne boli ploché, dalo sa na nich prechádzať. LXX a Vulg dokladá k tomuto veršu: "postlal Šaulovi na streche a tam spal".
