1 Samuel 10:6-13

6At that time the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person.

7After these signs take place, do what must be done, for God is with you.

8Then go down to Gilgal ahead of me. I will join you there to sacrifice burnt offerings and peace offerings. You must wait for seven days until I arrive and give you further instructions.”

9As Saul turned and started to leave, God gave him a new heart, and all Samuel’s signs were fulfilled that day.

10When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw a group of prophets coming toward them. Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy.

11When those who knew Saul heard about it, they exclaimed, “What? Is even Saul a prophet? How did the son of Kish become a prophet?”

12And one of those standing there said, “Can anyone become a prophet, no matter who his father is?” So that is the origin of the saying “Is even Saul a prophet?”

13When Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the place of worship.
