When they came to Gib'e-ah, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11
And when all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12
And a man of the place answered, "And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13
When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14
Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the asses; and when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel."
15
And Saul's uncle said, "Pray, tell me what Samuel said to you."
16
And Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the asses had been found." But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything.
17
Now Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah;
18
and he said to the people of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.'
19
But you have this day rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No! but set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands."
20
Then Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot.
