And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. [cf. Job 38:12 – Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; Luke 1:76-79 – And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace; John 8:12 – Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.]

Judg. 19:5; dayspring – Job 38:12; Luke 1:78), analogous to the spring of the year – the beginnng of the year as defined on the calendar God appointed (cf. Ex. 12:1-14 – This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. ... the fourteenth day ... is the LORD'S passover.). The spring of the year is the first part of the northern hemisphere's light portion of the year. Most of the world's land mass and population, including Israel and the places the Israelites lived and traveled in during Bible times, are located in the northern hemisphere. The months September, October, November, and December, named for the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months, are remnants of the calendar God appointed.]
