Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?

Verse 7 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Samuel. Saul initially appears as a young man distinguished by his appearance and family background. The loss of his father’s donkeys leads him, apparently through an ordinary circumstance, toward Samuel. This narrative construction shows how ordinary events can become means through which divine purpose unfolds. Saul does not yet know that he is being led toward a political role. The contrast between what the character knows and what the reader is beginning to understand creates a characteristic biblical narrative irony.
