1 Samuel 19:18-24

18So DavidH1732 fledH1272 and escapedH4422, and cameH935 1to SamuelH8050 at RamahH7414; and he informedH5046 him of everythingH3605 that SaulH7586 had doneH6213 to him. And he and SamuelH8050 wentH1980 and stayedH3427 in 2NaiothH5121.

19But it was reportedH5046 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 is at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.”

20Then 3SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, but when they sawH7200 4the companyH3862 of prophetsH5030 prophesyingH5012, with SamuelH8050 standingH5975 and presidingH5324 overH5921 them, the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 upon the messengersH4397 of SaulH7586; and 5they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012.

21When SaulH7586 was informedH5046 of this, he sentH7971 otherH312 messengersH4397, but they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012. So SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH3254 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, yet they prophesiedH5012.

22Then he wentH1980 to RamahH7414 himselfH1931 and cameH935 as farH5704 as the largeH1419 wellH953 that is in SecuH7906; and he 6askedH7592, “WhereH375 are SamuelH8050 and DavidH1732?” And someone saidH559, “BeholdH2009, they are at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.”

23So he 7proceededH1980 thereH8033 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414; but 8the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 upon him alsoH1571, so that he wentH1980 along prophesyingH5012 continuallyH1980 untilH5704 he cameH935 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.

24He alsoH1571 strippedH6584 offH6584 his clothesH899, and he tooH1571 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050 and 9layH5307 downH5307 1011nakedH6174 allH3605 that dayH3117 and allH3605 nightH3915. ThereforeH5921H3651 they sayH559, “12Is SaulH7586 alsoH1571 among the prophetsH5030?”
