1 Samuel 19:21 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 19:21

And when it was told Saul
That the messengers he had sent, instead of seizing on David, were prophesying of him, or however were attending to services of a different nature than what they were sent upon:

he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise;
when they came to the same place:

and Saul sent messengers again a third time, and they prophesied also;
joined the rest in singing praises, or foretelling future events.

1 Samuel 19:21 In-Context

19 When it was reported to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah,

20 Saul sent agents to seize David. However, when they saw the group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came on Saul's agents, and they also started prophesying.

21 When they reported to Saul, he sent other agents, and they also began prophesying. So Saul tried again and sent a third group of agents, and even they began prophesying.

22 Then Saul himself went to Ramah. He came to the large cistern at Secu, looked around, and asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" "At Naioth in Ramah," someone said.

23 So he went to Naioth in Ramah. The Spirit of God also came on him, and as he walked along, he prophesied until he entered Naioth in Ramah.
