It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Shemu'el, God gave him another heart: and all those signs happened that day.
10
When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
11
It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Sha'ul also among the prophets?
12
One of the same place answered, Who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Sha'ul also among the prophets?
13
When he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14
Sha'ul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went you? He said, To seek the donkeys; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Shemu'el.
15
Sha'ul's uncle said, Tell me, Please, what Shemu'el said to you.
16
Sha'ul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Shemu'el spoke, he didn't tell him.
17
Shemu'el called the people together to the LORD to Mitzpah;
18
and he said to the children of Yisra'el, Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, I brought up Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Mitzrim, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:
19
but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, [No], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
