Is Saul also among the prophets?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>When he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?"

Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes, and by your thousands."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, "Is there yet a man to come here?" Yahweh answered, "Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage." <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "[Long] live the king!"</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the army, whose hearts God had touched. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/10-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" They despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The World English Bible is a 1997 revision of the American Standard Version of the Holy Bible, first published in 1901.
