\\INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 9\\ This chapter gives an account of Saul, the person the Lord had appointed to be king of Israel; it relates his descent, and describes his person, \\#1Sa 9:1,2\\ and how seeking his father's asses, which were lost, he providentially came to the place where Samuel dwelt, \\#1Sa 9:3-5\\ and being advised by his servant, and approving of his advice, he concluded to go to him, and inquire the way he should go, \\#1Sa 9:6-10\\ and being directed by some young maidens, they found him presently in the street going to a feast, \\#1Sa 9:11-14\\ and Samuel having some previous notice from the Lord of such a person's coming to him that day, when he met him invited him to dine with him, and obliged him to stay with him that day, \\#1Sa 9:15-19\\ satisfied him about his asses, and gave him a hint of the grandeur he was to be raised to, to which Saul made a modest reply, \\#1Sa 9:20,21\\ and Samuel treated him at the feast in a very respectable manner, \\#1Sa 9:22-24\\ and privately communed with him of things preparatory to what he was about to make known unto him, \\#1Sa 9:25-27\\.
