E il cuoco prese la coscia e ciò che vi era sopra, e la pose davanti a Saul; e Samuele disse: «Ecco ciò che è stato riservato; mettilo davanti a te e mangia, perché è stato conservato per te per questo momento, da quando dissi: Ho invitato il popolo». Così Saul mangiò con Samuele quel giorno.

The prophet Samuel alluded to this mystical dimension of Benjamin not having bent his knee to some alien deity when he commanded that the cook bring the portion which he had told him to set aside. Thereupon the cook lifted up the thigh and what was on it, and set it before Saul. Samuel then said: "What has been reserved has been set before you" (Samuel I 9,23-25.) Rav Galanti, in his book Kol Bochim (on Lamentations), elaborates on this when he discusses the verse in Lamentations 4, 18: צדו צעדנו מלכת, "Our steps were checked; we could not walk, etc." I myself have dealt with this verse elsewhere.
