1 Samuel 10:2-9

2When you leaveH1980 meH5978 todayH3117, you will findH4672 twoH8147 menH582 atH5973 Rachel’sH7354 tombH6900 in ZelzahH6766 on the borderH1366 of BenjaminH1144. They will sayH559 to youH413, ‘The donkeysH860 you seekH1980H1245 have been foundH4672, and nowH2009 your fatherH1 has stoppedH5203 worrying aboutH1697 the donkeysH860 and started worryingH1672 about you, askingH559, “WhatH4100 should I doH6213 about my sonH1121?”’

3Then you will goH2498 onH1973 from thereH8033 until you comeH935 toH5704 the OakH4361 of TaborH8396. ThreeH7969 menH582 going upH5927 toH413 GodH430 at BethelH1008 will meet youH4672 thereH8033, oneH259 carryingH5375 threeH7969 young goatsH1423, anotherH259 carryingH5375 threeH7969 loavesH3603 of breadH3899, and anotherH259 carryingH5375 a skinH5035 of wineH3196. 4They will greet youH7592H7965 and giveH5414 you twoH8147 loaves of breadH3899, which you will acceptH3947 from their handsH3027.

5AfterH310 thatH3651 you will comeH935 to GibeahH1389 of GodH430,2 whereH834H8033 the PhilistinesH6430 have an outpostH5333H1961. As you approachH935H8033 the cityH5892, you will meetH6293 a groupH2256 of prophetsH5030 coming downH3381 from the high placeH1116, precededH6440 by harpsH5035, tambourinesH8596, flutesH2485, and lyresH3658, and theyH1992 will be prophesyingH5012.

6Then the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 will rushH6743 upon youH5921, and you will prophesyH5012 with themH5973; and you will be transformedH2015 into a differentH312 personH376.

WhenH3588 theseH428 signsH226 have comeH935, doH6213 as the occasionH834 demandsH4672H3027, forH3588 GodH430 is with youH5973. 8And you shall goH3381 before meH6440 to GilgalH1537, and surelyH2009 IH595 will comeH3381 to youH413 to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and to sacrificeH2076 peace offeringsH8002H2077. WaitH3176 sevenH7651 daysH3117 untilH5704 I comeH935 to youH413 and showH3045 you whatH834 you are to doH6213.”
