1 Samuel 10:10-12

10 ¹When they came to the hill there, behold, a group of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him mightily, so that he prophesied among them.

11 It came about, when all who knew him previously#st8032 saw that he prophesied now with the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? ²Is Saul also among the prophets?"

12 A man there * said, "Now, who is their father?" Therefore * it became a proverb: "³Is Saul also among the prophets?"
