Overview
Zelzah was a place in the land of Benjamin where Saul encountered two men after leaving Samuel. The exact location is uncertain, though it appears to have been situated along Saul's return route to Gibeah. This site is mentioned only once in Scripture but holds significance as part of the narrative confirming Saul's anointing as Israel's first king.
Key Scriptures
"Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head and kissed him and said, 'Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince over his people Israel? And you shall reign over the people of the Lord and you will save them from the hand of their enemies. And this shall be the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you to be prince over his inheritance. When you depart from me today, you will meet two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, "The donkeys that you went to seek are found, and now your father has ceased to care about the donkeys and is anxious about you, saying, What shall I do about my son?"'" (1 Samuel 10:1, ESV)
