And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Samuel. Samuel distinguishes Saul among the guests and gives him a place of honor at the banquet. He then asks Saul to remain so that he can receive a message from God. The special treatment confirms that the meeting is not accidental. The narrative still keeps the full content of the choice concealed, building the transition from Saul’s private life toward his public appointment. Attention to the details of the banquet and lodging reinforces the idea that Samuel is preparing Saul for a decisive revelation.
