1 Entonces Samuel tomó un frasco de aceite, lo derramó sobre la cabeza de Saúl, lo besó y dijo: El Señor te ha ungido como gobernante de su pueblo Israel. Tú gobernarás al pueblo del Señor y lo salvarás de los enemigos que lo rodean. Esta será la señal de que el Señor te ha ungido como gobernante de su pueblo:
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Hasn’t Yahweh anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
2 Cuando hoy te alejes de mí, encontrarás a dos hombres cerca de la tumba de Raquel, en Selsa, en territorio de Benjamín. Ellos te dirán: Ya encontraron los asnos que fuiste a buscar. Ahora tu padre ha dejado de preocuparse por los asnos y está preocupado por ustedes. Dice: ¿Qué haré por mi hijo?
2 When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’
3 Luego seguirás adelante hasta llegar al roble de Tabor. Allí encontrarás a tres hombres que suben a Betel para adorar a Dios. Uno llevará tres cabritos, otro tres panes y otro un odre de vino.
3 “Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 Ellos te saludarán y te darán dos panes. Acéptalos.
4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
5 Después llegarás a Guibeá, la colina de Dios, donde hay una fuerza de los filisteos. Al entrar en el pueblo encontrarás a un grupo de profetas que baja del lugar alto con instrumentos musicales delante de ellos. Ellos estarán profetizando.
5 “After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.
6 Entonces el Espíritu del Señor vendrá sobre ti con poder. Profetizarás con ellos y serás transformado en otra persona.
6 Then Yahweh’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.
7 Cuando se cumplan estas señales, haz lo que tengas que hacer, porque Dios está contigo.
7 Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.
8 Después baja delante de mí a Gilgal. Yo iré a reunirme contigo para ofrecer holocaustos y ofrendas de paz. Espera allí siete días hasta que yo llegue y te diga lo que debes hacer.
8 “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Wait seven days, until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 Cuando Saúl se dio vuelta para alejarse de Samuel, Dios le cambió el corazón, y todas aquellas señales se cumplieron ese mismo día.
9 It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs happened that day.
10 Cuando llegaron a Guibeá, un grupo de profetas salió a su encuentro. El Espíritu de Dios vino sobre Saúl con poder, y él profetizó con ellos.
10 When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11 Todos los que conocían a Saúl desde antes, al verlo profetizando con los profetas, se preguntaban unos a otros: ¿Qué le ha sucedido al hijo de Cis? ¿También Saúl está entre los profetas?
11 When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Uno de los habitantes del lugar preguntó: ¿Y quién es el padre de ellos? Por eso llegó a ser un dicho: ¿También Saúl está entre los profetas?
12 One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Cuando terminó de profetizar, Saúl fue a la casa.
13 When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 El tío de Saúl les preguntó a él y a su criado: ¿Dónde estuvieron? Saúl respondió: Buscando los asnos. Como no los encontramos, fuimos a ver a Samuel.
14 Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.”
15 El tío de Saúl dijo: Cuéntame, por favor, qué les dijo Samuel.
15 Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Saúl respondió a su tío: Nos aseguró que los asnos ya habían sido encontrados. Pero no le contó nada de lo que Samuel le había dicho acerca del reino.
16 Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him.
17 Samuel reunió al pueblo delante del Señor en Mizpa.
17 Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah;
18 Dijo a los israelitas: Así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: Yo saqué a Israel de Egipto y los libré del poder de los egipcios y de todos los reinos que los oprimían.
18 and he said to the children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’
19 Pero hoy ustedes han rechazado a su Dios, el que los salva de todas sus desgracias y dificultades, y le han dicho: Pon un rey sobre nosotros. Ahora preséntense delante del Señor por tribus y por grupos de familias.
19 But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your thousands.”
20 Samuel hizo que se acercaran todas las tribus de Israel, y fue escogida la tribu de Benjamín.
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 Después hizo que se acercaran las familias de Benjamín, y fue escogida la familia de Matri. Finalmente fue escogido Saúl, hijo de Cis. Pero cuando lo buscaron, no lo encontraron.
21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Entonces volvieron a consultar al Señor: ¿Ha venido aquí ese hombre? El Señor respondió: Sí. Está escondido entre el equipaje.
22 Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” Yahweh answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Corrieron a buscarlo y lo sacaron de allí. Cuando se puso en medio del pueblo, era una cabeza más alto que todos los demás.
23 They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 Samuel dijo a todo el pueblo: ¿Ven al hombre que el Señor ha escogido? No hay otro como él entre todo el pueblo. Entonces todos gritaron: ¡Viva el rey!
24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
25 Samuel explicó al pueblo los derechos y deberes del reino. Los escribió en un libro y lo guardó delante del Señor. Después Samuel envió a cada uno a su casa.
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 Saúl también regresó a su casa en Guibeá. Con él fueron unos hombres valientes cuyos corazones Dios había tocado.
26 Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Pero algunos hombres perversos dijeron: ¿Cómo podrá este hombre salvarnos? Lo despreciaron y no le llevaron ningún regalo.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
After this, because they knew him not, He gave them a sign, like as the prophet touching Saul, saying, "Thou shalt find one going up and carrying a bottle;" and here, "carrying a pitcher." And see again the display of his power.
