Et lorsque Samuel eut vu Saül, l'Éternel lui dit: Voici l'homme dont je t'ai parlé; c'est lui qui dominera sur mon peuple.
Et comme Samuel vit Saül, l'Éternel lui répondit: Voilà l'homme dont je t'ai parlé; c'est lui qui dominera sur mon peuple.
Et dès que Samuel eut aperçu Saül, l'Eternel lui dit : Voilà l'homme dont je t'ai parlé; c'est celui qui dominera sur mon peuple.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when Samuel saw Saul,.... Who could not but take notice of him for his height, and which might give him a suspicion he was the man the Lord had spoken of to him; and the rather, because this was the exact time in which he was to be sent to him, and therefore he fixed his eyes upon him: and that he might be assured it was he, and be left at no uncertainty about it,
the Lord said unto him; by a still small voice, or by an impulse upon his mind:
behold the man whom I spake to thee of; yesterday, this is he:
this same shall reign over my people; be their king, as they have desired: or "shall restrain" k them, keep them in due bounds, in the discharge of their duty to God and man; and keep them from doing that which is evil, or walking in evil ways, which is the business of a good king; or who shall restrain them from having their own will, but shall rule over them in an absolute manner, according to his own arbitrary will and pleasure.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 9:17. Behold the man whom I spake to thee of — What an intimate communion must Samuel have held with his God! A constant familiarity seems to have existed between them.
