After that you shall come to
1Gibeath-elohim,
2where there is a garrison of the Philistines. And there, as soon as you come to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down
3from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying.
6
4Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you,
5and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.
7
Now when
6these signs meet you, do what your hand finds to do,
7for God is with you.
8
Then go down before me
8to Gilgal. And behold, I am coming to you to offer burnt offerings and
9to sacrifice peace offerings.
10Seven days you shall wait, until I come to you and show you what you shall do."

When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all these signs came to pass that day.
10
When they came to
11Gibeah, behold, a group of prophets met him,
12and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11
And when all who knew him previously saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish?
13Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12
And a man of the place answered,
14"And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb,
15"Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13
When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14
16Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said,
17"To seek the donkeys. And when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel."
15
And Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
