1 SAMUEL 9:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.”
Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him — the maidens' guidance is precise and urgent. The phrase 'about this time' suggests the immediacy of the encounter, building narrative tension. The maidens have provided all the information necessary: where to find Samuel (the high place), when (now, today), and why he is there (the sacrifice and subsequent meal). They have essentially cleared the way for Saul's meeting with the prophet. Get you up suggests climbing, reflecting that the high place is elevated, both physically and spiritually. The narrative is moving toward its climax with remarkable speed and coordination.
