Read 1 Samuel 9.11-14
In verse 11: Cities were built on hills for protection.
Drawing water was typically done by women, usually in the morning or evening when it was cooler.
This suggests that it was around sundown.
In verse 12: The shrine or "high place" was a hill or raised platform where worship, especially sacrifices, took place.
Since deuteronomistic literature generally condemns the high places, this reference is probably part of the original tale.
In verse 13: Some sacrifices provided occasions for feasting after the portion of the animal designated for God was burned.
