- 有一個便雅憫人、名叫基士、是便雅憫人亞斐亞的元孫、比歌拉的曾孫、洗羅的孫子、亞別的兒子.是個大能的勇士.〔或作大財主〕
- 他有一個兒子、名叫掃羅、又健壯、又俊美、在以色列人中沒有一個能比他的.身體比眾民高過一頭。
- 掃羅的父親基士、丟了幾頭驢.他就吩咐兒子掃羅說、你帶一個僕人去尋找驢。
- 掃羅就走過以法蓮山地、又過沙利沙地、都沒有找著.又過沙琳地、驢也不在那裡.又過便雅憫地、還沒有找著。
- 到了蘇弗地、掃羅對跟隨他的僕人說、我們不如回去、恐怕我父親不為驢掛心、反為我們擔憂。

- Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
- And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
- And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
- And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
- And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
