In context
19“I am the seer,” Samuel answered. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you will eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and tell you all that is on your mind. 20As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them — they have been found.

Why do you say such a thing to me?” 22Then Samuel took Saul and his servant, brought them into the hall, and gave them a place at the head of the guests, who numbered about thirty men. 23Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion of meat I gave you, the one I told you to set aside.”
