ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૦:૨૧
પછી તે બિન્યામીનના કુળને તેઓનાં કુટુંબો પાસે લાવ્યો; તેમાંથી માટ્રીઓનું કુટુંબ માન્ય થયું; પછી કીશનો દીકરો શાઉલ માન્ય કરાયો. પણ જયારે તેઓ તેને શોધવા ગયા, ત્યારે તે મળ્યો નહિ.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १०:२१
तब वह बिन्यामीन के गोत्र को कुल-कुल करके समीप लाया, और चिट्ठी मत्री के कुल के नाम पर निकली; फिर चिट्ठी कीश के पुत्र शाऊल के नाम पर निकली। और जब वह ढूँढ़ा गया, तब न मिला।
