1 Samuel 10:9-16

9When Saul turned around to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s attitude. That day all these signs happened.

10When Saul came to the hill, a group of prophets came to meet him, and God’s Spirit came over him. He prophesied with them.

11When all who had known him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets?”

12But a man from that place asked, “But who’s the chief prophet?” So it became a proverb: “Is Saul one of the prophets?”

13And when he had finished prophesying, he came to the worship site.

14Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” Saul answered, “To look for the donkeys, and when we couldn’t find them, we went to Samuel.”

15Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”

16“He assured us the donkeys had been found,” Saul answered his uncle. But Saul didn’t tell him what Samuel said ⌞about his becoming king⌟.
