1 Samuel 9:13

Find him — At home and at leisure. To eat — The relicks of the sacrifices. Doth bless — The blessing of this sacrifice seems to have consisted both of thanksgiving, this being a thank — offering, and of prayer to God for its acceptance.

Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.

(h) That is, give thanks and distribute the meat according to their custom.
