1 Samuel 10:5-18

5After that, you will arrive at the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. It will come about, as soon as you enter the town, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by a harp, a tambourine and a flute, and they will be prophesying.

6Then the Ruach of Adonai will seize you and you will prophesy with them—you will turn into another man.

7Now when these signs happen to you, do for yourself what the occasion requires, for God is with you.

8Afterward, you are to go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice fellowship offerings. Seven days you will wait, until I come to you and instruct you what you should do.”

9Then it happened, as Saul turned his back to leave Samuel, that God transformed his heart, and all those signs came to pass that day.

10When they arrived there, at the hill, behold, a band of prophets did meet him, and suddenly, the Ruach of God overtook him, and subsequently, he prophesied among them.

11So when all who knew him formerly saw him prophesying with the prophets, they said one to another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

12(Someone there asked, “Who is their father?”) Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

13When he finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

14Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” And he said, “To look for the donkeys. But when we saw that they could not be found, we went to Samuel.”

15Saul’s uncle said, “Tell me now, what did Samuel say to you?”

16“He assured us that the donkeys had been found,” Saul said to his uncle. But concerning the matter of kingship about which Samuel spoke, he told him nothing.

17Then Samuel summoned the people to Adonai at Mizpah.

18He said to Bnei-Yisrael, “Thus says Adonai, God of Israel: I brought Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.
