1 Samuel 10:5-18

5AfterH310 thatH3651 you will comeH935 to GibeahH1389 of GodH430,1 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.”

As Saul turnedH6437H7926 to leaveH1980H5973 SamuelH8050, GodH430 changedH2015 Saul’s heartH3820H312, and allH3605 the signsH226H428 came to passH935 thatH1931 dayH3117. 10When Saul and his servant arrivedH935H8033 at GibeahH1389H2009,2 a groupH2256 of prophetsH5030 met himH7122. Then the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 rushedH6743 upon himH5921, and he prophesiedH5012 along with themH8432.

11WhenH1961 all thoseH3605 who had formerlyH865 knownH3045H8032 Saul saw himH7200H2009 prophesyingH5012 withH5973 the prophetsH5030, they askedH559H5971 oneH376 anotherH413H7453, “WhatH4100H2088 has happenedH1961 to the sonH1121 of KishH7027? Is SaulH7586 alsoH1571 among the prophetsH5030?”

12Then a manH376 who lived thereH8033H559 repliedH6030, “And whoH4310 is their fatherH1?” SoH5921 the sayingH3651 becameH1961 a proverbH4912: “Is SaulH7586 alsoH1571 among the prophetsH5030?”

13And when Saul had finishedH3615 prophesyingH5012, he went upH935 to the high placeH1116.

14Now Saul’sH7586 uncleH1730 askedH559 himH413 andH413 his servantH5288, “WhereH575 did you goH1980?”

“To look forH1245 the donkeysH860,” Saul repliedH559. “When we sawH7200H3588 they were not to be foundH369, we wentH935 toH413 SamuelH8050.”

15“TellH5046 me,” Saul’sH7586 uncleH1730 askedH559, “whatH4100 did SamuelH8050 say to youH559?”

16And SaulH7586H413 repliedH559, “He assuredH5046 us thatH3588 the donkeysH860 had been foundH4672.” But Saul did notH3808 tellH5046 his uncle whatH834 SamuelH8050 had saidH559 aboutH1697 the kingshipH4410.

17After this, SamuelH8050 summonedH6817 the peopleH5971 toH413 the LORDH3068 at MizpahH4709 18and saidH559 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘IH595 broughtH5927 IsraelH3478 up out of EgyptH4714, and I rescuedH5337 youH853 from the handsH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714H3027 and of allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 that oppressed youH3905.’
