Context of 1 Samuel 10:6

4They will say “hello” to you and they will offer you two loaves of bread. You must accept the bread. 5Then you must go to God's special hill at Gibeah. Some Philistine soldiers have their camp there. When you reach the town, you will meet a group of prophets. They will be coming down from the hill where people worship God. They will be making music with their harps, tambourines, flutes and lyres. They will be prophesying as they go along. Then the Lord's Spirit will come to you with power. You will start to prophesy too. You will change to become like a different person. 7After you see these things happen, you must do whatever seems right to you. God will be with you. 8You must go to Gilgal and then I will come there. I will join with you there to offer burnt offerings and peace offerings to God. You must wait for seven days until I come. When I arrive at Gilgal, I will tell you what you should do.’
