1 Samuel 10:2-9

2When you go from me today, then you will find two men close to 1Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘2The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. Now behold, your father has 3ceased to be concerned about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’ 3Then you will go on further from there, and you will come as far as the 45oak of Tabor, and there three men going up 6to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine; 4and they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hand. 5Afterward you will come to 78the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet 9a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and 10they will be prophesying. 6Then 11the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and 12you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man. 7It shall be when these signs come to you, 13do for yourself what 14the occasion requires, for 15God is with you. 8And 16you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and 17sacrifice peace offerings. 18You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you should do.”

9Then it happened when he turned his back to leave Samuel, God 19changed 20his heart; and all those signs came about on that day.
