New English Translation
1 Samuel 10:2-9
2When you leave me today, you will find two men near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah on Benjamin’s border. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you have gone looking for have been found. Your father is no longer concerned about the donkeys but has become anxious about you two! He is asking, “What should I do about my son?”’
3“As you continue on from there, you will come to the tall tree of Tabor. At that point three men who are going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One of them will be carrying three young goats, one of them will be carrying three round loaves of bread, and one of them will be carrying a container of wine.
4They will ask you how you’re doing and will give you two loaves of bread. You will accept them.
5Afterward you will go to Gibeah of God, where there are Philistine officials. When you enter the town, you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place. They will have harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.
6Then the spirit of the Lord will rush upon you and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person.
7“When these signs have taken place, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God will be with you.
8You will go down to Gilgal before me. I am going to join you there to offer burnt offerings and to make peace offerings. You should wait for seven days, until I arrive and tell you what to do.”
9As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed his inmost person. All these signs happened on that very day.
