1 Sam. 9:4      1 Sam. 9:6

First Samuel 9:5

When they came to the land of Zophah [near Ramah], Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, let us return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys and worry about us instead."
[Saul lived in Gibeah, just over a mile north of Jerusalem (1 Sam. 11:4). The mountainous region of Ephraim was just over 12 miles northwest of his home. Although Shalisha and Shaalim are unclear, most identify them with Baal-Shalisha and Shaalbim, respectively, which are located at the northwestern and southwestern ends of the Ephraimite mountain country. Just walking around this area would involve a 100-mile trek, a large area to cover during this three-day search (see verse 20). The region of Tsof is generally assumed (based on 1 Sam. 1:1) to be the region of Samuel's hometown in the hill country of Ephraim.]
