1 Samuel 10:2-16
2When thou art departedH3212 from meH5978 to dayH3117, then thou shalt findH4672 twoH8147 menH582 by Rachel’sH7354 sepulchreH6900 in the borderH1366 of BenjaminH1144 at ZelzahH6766; and they will sayH559 unto thee, The donkeysH860 which thou wentestH1980 to seekH1245 are foundH4672: and, lo, thy fatherH1 hath leftH5203 the careH1697 of the donkeysH860, and sorrowethH1672 for you, sayingH559, What shall I doH6213 for my sonH1121?1 3Then shalt thou go onH2498 forwardH1973 from thence, and thou shalt comeH935 to the plainH436 of TaborH8396, and there shall meetH4672 thee threeH7969 menH582 going upH5927 to GodH430 to Beth–elH1008, oneH259 carryingH5375 threeH7969 kidsH1423, and anotherH259 carryingH5375 threeH7969 loavesH3603 of breadH3899, and anotherH259 carryingH5375 a bottleH5035 of wineH3196: 4And they willH7592 saluteH7965 thee, and giveH5414 thee twoH8147 loaves of breadH3899; which thou shalt receiveH3947 of their handsH3027.2 5AfterH310 that thou shalt comeH935 to the hillH1389 of GodH430, where is the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thitherH935 to the cityH5892, that thou shalt meetH6293 a companyH2256 of prophetsH5030 coming downH3381 from the high placeH1116 with a psalteryH5035, and a tabretH8596, and a pipeH2485, and a harpH3658, beforeH6440 them; and they shall prophesyH5012: 6And the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 will comeH6743 upon thee, and thou shalt prophesyH5012 with them, and shalt be turnedH2015 into anotherH312 manH376. 7And let it be, when these signsH226 are comeH935 unto thee, that thou doH6213 as occasionH4672 serveH3027 thee; for GodH430 is with thee.34 8And thou shalt go downH3381 beforeH6440 me to GilgalH1537; and, behold, I will come downH3381 unto thee, to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to sacrificeH2076 sacrificesH2077 of peace offeringsH8002: sevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou tarryH3176, till I comeH935 to thee, and shewH3045 thee what thou shalt doH6213.
9And it was so, that when he had turnedH6437 his backH7926 to goH3212 from SamuelH8050, GodH430 gaveH2015 him anotherH312 heartH3820: and all those signsH226 cameH935 to pass that dayH3117.56 10And when they cameH935 thither to the hillH1389, behold, a companyH2256 of prophetsH5030 metH7125 him; and the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH6743 upon him, and he prophesiedH5012 amongH8432 them. 11And it came to pass, when all that knewH3045 him beforetimeH8032H865 sawH7200 that, behold, he prophesiedH5012 among the prophetsH5030, then the peopleH5971 saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, What is this that is come unto the sonH1121 of KishH7027? Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030?7 12And oneH376 of the same place answeredH6030 and saidH559, But who is their fatherH1? Therefore it became a proverbH4912, Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030?8 13And when he had made an endH3615 of prophesyingH5012, he cameH935 to the high placeH1116.
14And Saul’sH7586 uncleH1730 saidH559 unto him and to his servantH5288, WhitherH575 wentH1980 ye? And he saidH559, To seekH1245 the donkeysH860: and when we sawH7200 that they were no whereH369, we cameH935 to SamuelH8050. 15And Saul’sH7586 uncleH1730 saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, what SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto you. 16And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his uncleH1730, He toldH5046 us plainlyH5046 that the donkeysH860 were foundH4672. But of the matterH1697 of the kingdomH4410, whereof SamuelH8050 spakeH559, he toldH5046 him not.
