1 Samuel 10:3

Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

Ver. 3. Going up to God,] i.e., To ask counsel of God; before whom they might not come empty handed, but were to bring the best of the best.
