Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as they went up the hill to the city,.... For the city was built upon an hill, from whence it had the name of Ramah, which signifies high and lifted up:
they found young maidens going out to draw water: going out of the city, to a fountain which was at the bottom of the hill; and this was the usual business of maidens in those countries to fetch water for the service of the family, :-,

:-. R. Akiba e makes this observation, that whenever a man meets maidens coming out of a city before he goes into it, it is a token of prosperity to him; and instances in the cases of Abraham's servant, of Jacob, and of Moses, and here of Saul, who was informed of a kingdom, and anointed for it, see Genesis 24:14 Exodus 2:16,
and said unto them, is the seer here? meaning, is he in the city? or is he at home? or is he in the country?
e In Pirke Eliezer, c. 36. fol. 39. 1. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 9:11. Young maidens going out to draw water — So far is it from being true, that young women were always kept closely shut up at home, that we find them often in the field, drawing and carrying water, as here.
