1 Samuel 9:11-13

New International Version

¹¹ As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to draw^(A) water, and they asked them, “Is the seer here?”

¹² “He is,” they answered. “He’s ahead of you. Hurry now; he has just come to our town today, for the people have a sacrifice^(B) at the high place.^{(C) 13} As soon as you enter the town, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not begin eating until he comes, because he must bless^(D) the sacrifice; afterward, those who are invited will eat. Go up now; you should find him about this time.”
