10:2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find
two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at
Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The {b} asses which
thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath
left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying,
What shall I do for my son?
(b) Samuel confirms him by these signs, that God has
appointed him king.
1Sa 10:5
10:5 After that thou shalt come to the {c} hill of God, where

shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high
place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a

to honour.

patience.
