Verse 18 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Samuel. Saul and his servant meet Samuel, producing their first encounter. Samuel has already received revelation concerning Saul’s arrival, while Saul still interprets the situation from a limited perspective. Saul is surprised that Samuel treats him with honor because he considers his family insignificant within Israel. The scene prepares the later tension between appearance, divine choice, and character. The future king begins as someone who is not deliberately seeking power.

Da trat Saul zu Samuel unter dem Tor und sprach: Sage mir, wo ist hier des Sehers Haus?
Y llegando Saúl a Samuel en medio de la puerta, díjole: Ruégote que me enseñes dónde está la casa del vidente.
Saúl se acercó a Samuel en medio de la puerta y le preguntó: «Dime, por favor, dónde está la casa del vidente».
Saül s'approcha de Samuel au milieu de la porte, et dit: Indique-moi, je te prie, où est la maison du voyant.
E Saulle, accostatosi a Samuele dentro della porta, gli disse: Deh! mostrami ove è la casa del Veggente.
E Saul se chegou a Samuel no meio da porta, e disse: Mostra-me, peço-te, onde está a casa do vidente.
