The leaders of the people made their homes in Jerusalem. The rest of the people cast lots. They did it to choose one person out of every ten of them. That person was chosen to live in the holy city of Jerusalem. The other nine had to stay in their own towns.

They cast lots just as their relatives had done. Their relatives were in the family line of Aaron. They cast lots in front of King David, Zadok and Ahimelek. They did it in front of the family leaders of the priests. They also did it in front of the family leaders of the Levites.

Next he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward, family group by family group. Matri’s group was chosen. Finally Saul, the son of Kish, was chosen. But when people looked for him, they realized he wasn’t there.They needed more help from the Lord. So they asked him,“ Has the man come here yet?” The Lord said,“ Yes. He has hidden himself among the supplies.”So they ran over there and brought him out. When he stood up, the people saw that he was a head taller than any of them.Samuel spoke to all the people. He said,“ Look at the man the Lord has chosen! There isn’t anyone like him among all the people.” Then the people shouted,“ May the king live a long time!”Samuel explained to the people the rights and duties of the king who ruled over them. He wrote them down in a book. He placed it in front of the Lord in the holy tent. Then he sent the people away. He sent each of them to their own homes.Saul also went to his home in Gibeah. Some brave men whose hearts God had touched went with Saul.But some people who wanted to stir up trouble said,“ How can this fellow save us?” They looked down on him. They didn’t bring him any gifts. But Saul kept quiet about it.
