1 Samuel 19:19-24

19When SaulH7586 was toldH5046H559H2009 that DavidH1732 was at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414, 20heH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to seizeH3947 himH1732. But when they sawH7200 the groupH3862 of prophetsH5030 prophesyingH5012, with SamuelH8050H5975 leading themH5324, the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 uponH5921 themH5921, and Saul’sH7586 messengersH4397 alsoH1571 began to prophesyH5012.

21When this was reportedH5046 to SaulH7586, he sentH7971 moreH312 messengersH4397, but theyH1992 began to prophesyH5012 as wellH1571.

So SaulH7586 tried againH3254 and sentH7971 messengersH4397 a thirdH7992 time, and evenH1571 theyH1992 began to prophesyH5012.

22Finally, Saul himselfH1931 left forH1980H1571 RamahH7414 and cameH935 toH5704 the largeH1419 cisternH953 at SecuH7906, where he askedH7592H559, “WhereH375 are SamuelH8050 and DavidH1732?”

“At NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414,” he was toldH559.

23So Saul wentH1980H8033 toH413 NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. But the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 uponH5921 evenH1571 Saul, and he walked alongH1980 prophesyingH5012 untilH5704 he came toH935 NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. 24Then SaulH1931 stripped offH6584 his robesH899 and alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050. And he collapsedH5307 and lay nakedH6174 allH3605 thatH1931 dayH3117 andH3605 nightH3915. That is whyH5921H3651 it is saidH559, “Is SaulH7586 alsoH1571 among the prophetsH5030?”
