What does 1 Samuel 9:12 mean?

The women answered, 'Yes, he’s just ahead of you. He came to town today because the people are offering a sacrifice at the shrine. If you hurry, you’ll catch him before he goes up to eat. The guests won’t eat until he blesses the food. Go now, you’ll find him.' 1 Samuel 9:12 - Modern Text Bible

(The women explain that Samuel (the seer) is in town for a special event and that Saul can still catch him if he moves quickly. This sets up the meeting as something that’s about to happen by chance, but is actually part of a bigger plan.)
