Saul’s uncle asked Saul and his servant, “Where have you been?” Saul said, “We were looking for the donkeys. When we couldn’t find them, we went to see Samuel.”
Saul answered, “Samuel told us the donkeys were already found.” He did not tell his uncle everything. Saul did not tell him what Samuel said about the kingdom.
It happened that the royal officials of the king did come to Jeremiah to question him. So Jeremiah told them everything the king had ordered him to say. Then they left Jeremiah alone. No one had heard what Jeremiah and the king had talked about.
