1 Samuel 19:18-23

18Now David fled and escaped and came 1to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in 2Naioth.

19It was told Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

20Then 3Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw 4the company of the prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and 5they also prophesied.

21When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

22Then he himself went to Ramah and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he asked and said, “Where are Samuel and David?” And someone said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”

23He 6proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; and 7the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
