1 Samuel 19:18-23
18So David fled and escaped, and came 1to Samuel at Ramah; and he informed him of everything that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in 2Naioth.
19But it was reported to Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20Then 3Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw 4the company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and 5they also prophesied.
21When Saul was informed of this, he sent other messengers, but they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, yet they prophesied.
22Then he went to Ramah himself and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he 6asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” And someone said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23So he 7proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; but 8the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
