1 Samuel 9:13

13As soon as you enter the city you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately.”

1 Samuel 16:3-5

3And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. aAnd you shall anoint for me him whom I declare to you.” 4Samuel did what the Lord commanded and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city bcame to meet him trembling and said, c“Do you come peaceably?” 5And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. dConsecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
