Common English Bible

²³ Samuel said to the cook, “Serve the portion I gave you—the one I told you to set aside.” ²⁴ So the cook took the thigh and what was on it,^[a] and put it in front of Saul. Samuel said, “Look, what had been reserved is now in front of you. Eat up, because it was set apart for you for this specific occasion, ever since I invited the guests.”^[b] So Saul ate with Samuel that day. ²⁵ When they came back from the shrine to the town, a bed was made for Saul on the roof, and he slept.^[c]
