1 Samuel 9:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ Then they left the worship site for the city. They spread blankets on the roof for Saul, and he slept there.^[a]

²⁶ At dawn Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get up! ⌞It’s time for⌟ me to send you away.” Saul got up, and both he and Samuel went outside. ²⁷ As they were going toward the city limits, Samuel told Saul, “Have the servant go ahead of you.” (He went ahead.) “But you stay here, and I will tell you God’s word.”
