Saul answered,“ But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?”

Saul answered,“ But I’m from the tribe of Benjamin. It’s the smallest tribe in Israel. And my family group is the least important in the whole tribe of Benjamin. So why are you saying that to me?”

Saul answered,“ Am I not a Benjaminite, from the least of the tribes of Israel? And is not my clan the humblest of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?”

Samuel said,“ Though you were little in your own sight, weren’t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel;

There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty- five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valor.But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword— including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found on fire.

Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said,“ Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son- in- law, since I am a poor man, and little known?”

Yahweh looked at him, and said,“ Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?”He said to him,“ O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”

David said to Saul,“ Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son- in- law to the king?”

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
