³ Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, had strayed. So Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the young men with you; go and look for the donkeys.”

⁵ and said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow in your ways; appoint for us, then, a king to govern us, like other nations.”^(A)

¹³ See, here is the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; see, the Lord has set a king over you.^(A)
