After they came down from the high place to the town,
Samuel talked with Saul on the roof of his house.
They rose about daybreak
and Samuel called to Saul on the roof,
"Get ready, and I will send you on your way."
When Saul got ready,
he and Samuel went outside together.
As they were going down to the edge of town,
Samuel said to Saul,
"Tell the servant to go on ahead of us"
-- and the servant did so -
"but you stay here awhile,
so that I may give you a message from God."
Then Samuel took a flask of oil
and poured it on Saul's head
and kissed him, saying,
"Has not the Lord anointed you
leader over His inheritance?"
(I Samuel 9:25-27; 10:1)
