1 Samuel 9:25

SAUL SPENDS THE NIGHT WITH SAMUEL

"So Saul ate with Samuel that day. And when they came down from the high place into the city, a bed was spread for Saul upon the roof, and he lay down to sleep. Then at the break of dawn Samuel called to Saul upon the roof, `Up, that I may send you on your way.' So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went out into the street. As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, `Tell the servant to pass on before us, and when he has passed on stop here yourself for a while, that I may make known to you the Word of God.'"

The anointing of Saul would take place on the next day, and this is covered in the next chapter.
