3 "Then you will go on further from there, and you will come as far as the 1oak of Tabor, and there three men going up 2to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine;
4 and they will greet * you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hand.
5 "Afterward * you will come to 3the hill of God where * the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet 4a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and 5they will be prophesying.
6 "Then 6the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and 7you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man.
7 "It shall be when these signs come to you, 8do for yourself what the occasion requires, for 9God is with you.
