Saul asks for the seer’s house in the gateway, and Samuel’s answer

성문 가운데서 선견자의 집을 묻는 사울과 사무엘의 대답

1 Samuel 9:18–21: Saul approaches Samuel in the gateway, and says, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.” Samuel answers Saul and says, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you are to eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart. As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don’t set your mind on them, for they have been found. For whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you and all your father’s house?” Saul answers, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”
