【撒上9:15】 扫罗未到的前一日,耶和华已经指示撒母耳说,
Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
【撒上9:16】 明日这时候,我必使一个人从便雅悯地到你这里来,你要膏他作我民以色列的君。他必救我民脱离非利士人的手。因我民的哀声上达于我,我就眷顾他们。
To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
【撒上9:17】 撒母耳看见扫罗的时候,耶和华对他说,看哪,这人就是我对你所说的,他必治理我的民。
And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
【撒上10:1】 撒母耳拿瓶膏油倒在扫罗的头上,与他亲嘴,说,这不是耶和华膏你作他产业的君吗?
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
