1 Samuel 9:16-17

16 Amanhã a estas horas te enviarei um homem da terra de Benjamim, o qual ungirás por príncipe sobre o meu povo de Israel; e ele livrará o meu povo da mão dos filisteus; pois olhei para o meu povo, porque o seu clamor chegou a mim.

17 E quando Samuel viu a Saul, o Senhor e disse: Eis aqui o homem de quem eu te falei. Este dominará sobre o meu povo.

1 Samuel 9:16-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 9

This chapter gives an account of Saul, the person the Lord had appointed to be king of Israel; it relates his descent, and describes his person, 1Sa 9:1,2 and how seeking his father's asses, which were lost, he providentially came to the place where Samuel dwelt, 1Sa 9:3-5 and being advised by his servant, and approving of his advice, he concluded to go to him, and inquire the way he should go, 1Sa 9:6-10 and being directed by some young maidens, they found him presently in the street going to a feast, 1Sa 9:11-14 and Samuel having some previous notice from the Lord of such a person's coming to him that day, when he met him invited him to dine with him, and obliged him to stay with him that day, 1Sa 9:15-19 satisfied him about his asses, and gave him a hint of the grandeur he was to be raised to, to which Saul made a modest reply, 1Sa 9:20,21 and Samuel treated him at the feast in a very respectable manner, 1Sa 9:22-24 and privately communed with him of things preparatory to what he was about to make known unto him, 1Sa 9:25-27.
