23 And Samuel said to the cook, 'Present the portion that I gave to you, and which I instructed you to set apart beside you.'
24 Then the cook lifted up the shoulder, and he placed it before Saul. And Samuel said: 'Behold, what remains, set it before you and eat. For it was preserved for you intentionally, when I called the people.' And Saul ate with Samuel on that day.
25 And they descended from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul in the upper room. And he set out a bed for Saul in the upper room, and he slept.
26 And when they had risen in the morning, and it now began to be light, Samuel called to Saul in the upper room, saying, 'Rise up, so that I may send you on.' And Saul rose up. And they both departed, that is to say, he and Samuel.
27 And as they were descending to the very limit of the city, Samuel said to Saul: 'Tell the servant to go ahead of us, and to continue on. But as for you, stay here a little while, so that I may reveal the word of the Lord to you.'
