1 Samuel 19:19-24
19It was told Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20Then 1Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw 2the company of the prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and 3they 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 4proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; and 5the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24He also stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and 6lay down 78naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “9Is Saul also among the prophets?”
