1 Samuel 10:22 Context
20And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come neere, the tribe of Beniamin was taken. 21When he had caused the tribe of Beniamin to come neere by their families, the familie of Matri was taken, and Saul the sonne of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found. 22Therefore they enquired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come thither: and the Lord answered, Behold, hee hath hid himselfe among the stuffe. 23And they ranne, and fetched him thence, and when he stood among the people, he was higher then any of the people, from the shoulders & vpward. 24And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whome the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and saide, God saue the King.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Samuel 10:22
10:22 Enquired - Either by Urim or Thummim, which was the usual way of enquiry. Or, by Samuel, who by his prayer procured an answer. Stuff - Among the carriages or baggage of the people there assembled. This he probably did, from a sense of his own unworthiness.
